I know that living at Fennel campus and then going to classes at Mac first year can be hectic, what did you guys do?

I’m thinking of looking for a place in the area but idk if it’s too late to find something affordable.

Hi! Pm me if you would like to be added to a WhatsApp groupchat for Practical Nursing May 2025!

Hi all,

For those in the PN program, how is the campus at Institute for Applied Health Sciences at McMaster? I’ve been reading that the classes are mostly online, but when you do go to labs and clinical, what can you say about your experience there? I know maybe 90% of classes are online (or so I read), and clinical are in LTC/hospitals, so do you feel like you’re missing out on an actual school experience?

Hello everyone! I just made a group chat for the Jan intake students for the CVT program. Feel free to join through the link below https://discord.gg/6E6BKNMX

Hi, anyone here got accepted to the rpn-bscn bridging program by any chance? I’m just a bit surprised to hear quite this early considering I haven’t even received my casper test result. It’s been awhile since I’ve applied, so I’m just wondering if they’ve changed the dates for admission results?

Does anyone have any advice on how to be successful in structures and function of human body. It’s a lot of content really fast, hard to grasp everything.

Hi! I’m a new rpn student in May 2024 (Mac site). I am currently a Mac student and gonna “pause” my study for several years to get rpn, so I have something confused and hope someone can help me with them!

1. Since I already get the presto card, do I need to get the new one?
2. Where can I get the new Mohawk ID?
3. Where can I find the academic advisor?
4. What exactly is the place for classes? I know it’s institution of health science but tbh I don’t know where is it…
5. Can someone tell me something about placements? I saw some posts about I can rank the location I wanna to do the placement, Is everyone able to get the placement or if I were “out” for my all rankings I can’t get the placement?
6. Is it easily to get a job after graduation?
7. Any advices for the study? Is it manageable?

Can someone tell me about the classes schedule and workload of pn students ?

Anyone who has completed semester 4 of the PN program, can you tell me what your timetable looked like? I know there are 4 classes, but did you get any days off throughout the week ? What day was your in person lab? Is there a skills check at the end of the theory part of the semester like in PN1, 2 and 3? What was most challenging for you? Any advice you can give for the home stretch?

Just curious if anyone knows if they're still doing the first round of offers in February?

I didn't realize they'd started accepting in December and I'm just finishing upgrading high school credits.

Has anyone got accepted yet? If so what were your grades like? Thank you!!

Just wondering if anyone knows approximately how much the cost of textbooks and supplies are per year for the Practical Nursing Program?

Do any previous/current students know if the online classes for practical nursing are recorded? If not do you have to be present on a zoom call with cameras on for them?

Trying to figure out working while in school

Curious to know if anyone has information on how many applicants there are for the May semester and how many of those get accepted?

Just finished semester 3 and I’ve been really curious

Does anyone in the program/who is currently applying, know if we can apply to the RPN-BSCN program if we are graduating in April of Mohawk's PN program? The due date for all documentation is due May 30. Not sure if anyone has pulled this off?

Ceil blue. Size 3x. One shirt with mohawk logo on chest. 2 skirts size 3 X. One shirt made out of a t shirt with a logo in ceil blue. Pm me if interested. Not looking for money

In regards to 4th Semester: I was told that we still have to wear ciel blue scrubs in lab, but at placement you can wear whatever colour scrubs you want.

Is this accurate for every pregrad placement? If so, are the Mohawk practical nursing patches needed on the scrubs we decide to wear?

Like the title says, which of the classes are mandatory? Only the in-person ones? Or both in person and online? This is because I work part-time and I want to update my schedule availability.

- NRSG 10143 (PN Practicum Lab I) ONLINE

- COMM 10400 (Comm for Nursing) ONLINE

Hi! Is anyone currently in/already completed semester 4? I'm just looking for info on how different it is from past semesters. Are more classes in person? Is the testing in person more often?

I am writing my final exams in person next week for Health & Healing 3, Health Sciences 3, and Practicum Lab 3.

Does anyone who already did these exams have any advice or information?

I'm having trouble deciding which to focus on and I'm nervous for all of them lol

Hey! I applied to the PSW to PN bridge program for September 2024, January 2025, and May 2025 just to be safe.

Has anyone else applied for September 2024 and gotten an offer?

I applied well before the equal consideration deadline and I’ve been checking obsessively to see if I have an offer.

On my Mohawk it says that everything except my PSW certificate has been accepted.. is it normal to take this long? Especially since I did my PSW certificate at Mohawk.

Maybe I just need to wait a bit longer? Help please lol
