kylamonkey Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I'm looking into some 2-yr nursing programs. I want to practice rural medicine, and I think that being a nurse practitioner would give me almost the same scope of practice. Also, it would give me great insight into the field, and I can continue applying to meds if I wish. So.... Does anyone have a list of the 2-yr programs available in Canada? All I know of at the moment is: -UBC -U of A -MUN I'm not super worried about my GPA because it's fine at the moment. BUT if anyone has info on how attainable decent marks are, that would be great. It would give me an idea of how much time I can spend on ECs. I've heard negative reviews on this site of the MUN program, and I'm wondering if anyone else has insight into other programs.

astrogirl Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I'm pretty sure the University of Lethbridge has one, and that's a great place to be if you're interested in working in rural areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickytacky23 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Queen's has a 2yr Advanced Standing Track for the BscN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Also, Western, Mac, UofT and (I think) York all have two year nursing programs for people who have already completed an undergrad. You may need a few prereqs for some of then (like stats, phys or anatomy). Checking out the websites should be able to clear that up for you though.

kylamonkey Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks for all the replies! Getting "Resident" status in another province would be a big bonus too. I was not aware Lethbridge even had a university! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astrogirl Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I was not aware Lethbridge even had a university! It's pretty small, but it's a good school. Many of my classmates from high school went there. And Lethbridge is an awesome city! It's on my list of places I wouldn't mind living in permanently, although it's a bit bigger than most places on that list (population of about 80,000). I'm from a really small town about an hour away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
