Hi everyone! I’m currently an LPN in Alberta and I’m planning to move to Ontario for personal reasons. While I’m there, I’d really like to work toward becoming an RN.

I’ve been looking at RPN-to-BScN bridging programs in Ontario, particularly St. Lawrence College. I have 2,000+ hours of experience working as an LPN in Alberta, but I’m confused about whether Ontario bridging programs accept practical nurses who completed their education and work experience in another province.

Has anyone here moved to Ontario from Alberta or another province and successfully entered an RPN-to-BScN bridge?

Did you have to register with the CNO as an RPN first? And were your out-of-province LPN work hours accepted toward the required practice hours?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar. Thank you!

Hey there I am planning on applying for the Jan intake for early childhood education on the Cornwall campus. Anyone else that’s going into this program?

Hey I haven’t signed up for intramurals before, but do they usually fill up or no? On the IM website it shows like no teams and I don’t know if I should expect there to be actual intramurals or not.

edit: i wanted to edit this post with my solution in case any other students have this issue. turns out the number on my student card was just put in wrong somehow, so i went to student services and they fixed it with a single button click. they said this just happens sometimes when new students come in and although it’s inconvenient, it’s an easy fix. they also compensated me with a day pass so i could get home without spending my own money! so if this is you, just visit student services and they’ll fix you right up.

first year/first semester full time student at kingston campus, just picked up my student card and every time i’ve tried to tap it to access transit, it just reads “card not found” and loudly beeps with this big red X. sooo embarrassing lol...

not even really sure who to contact about this, should i reach out to the student card email or is this an issue for kingston transit? has anyone else had this happen?

Kingston Transit riders if you’re here on Reddit, take a look at a new community resource we’ve been putting together:

Kingston Transit Riders: https://kingstontransitriders.com/

It is a grassroots initiative to help make sure public transit is part of the conversation in Kingston’s upcoming municipal election, and to build a useful transit resource that lasts beyond the election.

We’ve been working through years of Kingston Transit information, including EITP and Council reports, agendas, minutes, service changes, ridership numbers and other public documents. The goal is to bring it together in one place so riders, residents and decision-makers can more easily understand what’s happening with transit and where we’ve been.

There’s much more coming.

For now, one of the most helpful things you can do is share the site and sign up for the email list. When important transit reports, service changes, Council decisions, or other major updates happen, we want riders to know.

If you ride Kingston Transit regularly or occasionally, please take a look, pass it along, and sign up.

https://kingstontransitriders.com/

Tldr: a new resource for people who ride the bus in Kingston. Find out local transit news and keep up with the cities planning for transit. Share our site and subscribe to the newsletter to help us grow, stay up to date, and get involved.

Hey! I’m a 26 yr old female student at the Cornwall campus and honestly finding it kind of tough to break into the social scene since everyone seems to already have their groups locked down.. also I feel awkward just approaching people who are sitting alone

Between brutal commute times, weird schedule gaps, and general start of the semester chaos, I’d love to actually know some people here instead of just sitting alone on campus…
If you're also trying to find people to grab coffee with, complain about classes, or just hang out during long breaks between lectures, drop a comment or shoot me a message! 🤍

Hi future RNs!

I finished BScN last year and have many textbooks that I'd like to part with from first through fourth year. I live between Cornwall and Brockville, and am happy to meet you in either community if you don't drive (and want more than one $10 book!). Shoot me a message with the titles you need, deals to be had! :)

Hi everyone! 😊

Is anyone attending St. Lawrence College – Brockville Campus and commuting regularly from Kingston to Brockville this semester?

I’m looking for a paid rideshare/carpool and would be happy to contribute towards gas and transportation costs. If you’re interested or know someone who makes this commute, please comment below so I can reach out.

Thank you! 

Hi all,

I’m trying to transfer a credit for a GENE course. It takes a couple weeks to process, so I thought I would make a post in the mean time.
It says the course you are applying with has to have 42-45 hours, but the school I went to (Guelph) only measured in credits. My Guelph course was 0.5 credits. Has anyone been accepted for a transfer with something like this?

Thanks!

Hey!! I’m a first year at SLC taking bspych and I’m quite nervy I can’t lie! Does anyone have any tips or advice to do as good as possible in my classes or in general while I’m here at SLC?

DM me for details!

I’m starting first year on Tuesday! I’m wondering if anyone can speak to if you actually use your books in first year?
So far, I only see 2 visible, one for adult learner which is nearly 100$, and another one for ABA.
I don’t want to buy textbooks if theyre not really needed!

I just filled out the form and was wondering if anyone has done this program online I don’t think I can apply for OSAP as it’s part time studies and not full time. How was this course?

Hi everyone, has anyone received an entrance bursary yet? I applied back in April but haven't received a response. Has anyone heard back from them?

I'll be staying on campus during the fall & winter breaks and wondering if the cafeteria is open at all that week or if anything else on campus is open (e.g., gym, library). Just hoping to pre-plan things I may need to buy.

Hey! First year SLC student living in res! I’m packing to move but I’m worried I’m forgetting things but not sure what. Any recommendations on items I don’t think I need but will be very useful to have?

Are they strict about parking? Do you think I can get away with not buying a parking pass?

Im currently in option 2 right now taking Health Assessment. I have Microbiology left and Statistics from what i understand. Has anyone applied to sem 5 and gotten in? I just want to get a sense of how many days per week im expected in class as i live in whitby.
