Wow, who brought this thread back??

Ryerson will be harder from the school you came from.
The standards are quite high now, and courses are getting more difficult. York is easy but Ryerson not anymore.
Glad that I graduated, no more sleepless nights.

Are you kidding me? Ryerson is on a downhill spiral right now. Courses are difficult at Ryerson's level ? That explains the quality of Rye high students. You must have been sleeping in classes and partying all night. Your calling it difficult because your probably have trouble grasping the textbook concepts which is quite sad. Courses at Uoft require critical thinking on exams whereas Ryerson is just textbook level questions on an exam. You have no idea how tough it is to stay in a program at Uoft compared to Ryerson. I would say Ryerson is easier than York. Even if the other way is true, Ryerson's reputation isnt even any better. Dont get too excited.

I know someone who graduated Ryerson U and he has a 60k/yr job. I also know somebody from UofT and he's working at McDonalds.

Clearly this proves that Ryerson U is a better school.

Wow, your now comparing the reputation between the 2 schools? You got to be kidding me. Listen buddy, do your research-- Ryerson isnt even ranked lol. Even windsor university is ranked.
Btw, why are there so many insecure rye high students on this forum anyway? I bet most of them are those business management and btm majors. The most worthless business degree to get in the GTA. If you want, you could always trying upgrading your worthless ryerson degree and do a second degree at uoft. Its not too late

Aren't you going to ask me if I'd like fries with that? Go back to digging that ditch or shuffling ***** off driveways because that's exactly where you'll end up with a useless UofT diploma.

Have you taken courses from every professors at Ryerson? I can understand your disappointment and fusrtration at profs who aren't good but to make a blanket statement like that isn't helpful and the statement itself doesn't sound like it can hold any grounds for a shred of truth.

OP, I wish you all the best. Don't give up if you don't want to, it's your life and how you want to spend your time alive and what you decide to do is up to you. Young people make mistakes. Learn from it and move on.

Nursing is very competitive these days. Nursing at Humer College was cut off at mid to high 80s this year. Your best bet to get into a medical profession is to apply as a mature student for a general health and or science program in a college or an esay acceptance and non-competitive arts program in university and then slowly work your hardest to pull your grades up and then transfer over.

This is good advice, but consider that different nursing schools weight the various criteria differently.

Western for example focuses on your GPA very heavily. UBC on the other handlooks more at the overall application and not just the grades. UBC has a very extensive application process. Pick your nursing school with care.

OP wants to get into nursing which is a beast all on its own. I don't doubt for a second that Ryerson nursing is competitive and difficult to get into.

Good luck OP

I have been looking at other nursing schools, what do you guys think or anyone know about the Laurentian Nursing or York Nursing?? Any experience or information you guys know would help

[JesseKwan]

I would probably also be applying to UOIT's nursing too, anyone know how it is there?

My cousin graduated last year from the Nursing program at YorkU, shes a registered nurse and is working full time right now at Toronto hospital. I dont see her much -___- but when i asked her how York was overall, she seemed like she enjoyed it there. Im sure Ryerson's nursing program is a good experience as well.

I would look at UOIT's nursing website although there doesnt seem to be much information. Its a relatively new school/program i believe.

imflying12 sure is drinking that "better school" kool aid and pay more money to get the same education. That's why I tell my bosses not to take UofT grads. Not much of a team player if they already start judging fellow coworkers by the school they graduated from.

No one really care if it's UofT or Ryerson, in the fields I see both graduate working side by side. The Ryerson grads are up to par with UofT grads. Not to mention from experience, a Ryerson grad went up 2 levels within 5 years while the UofT grads stayed same level in 5 years.

Getting into UofT and surviving doesn't necessarily means = better than Ryerson. A high school grad could have not gotten the useless grads in high school to get into UofT, so they go to Ryerson. Doesn't mean dumb or useless.

I can't believe someone resurrect this thread. It's only relevant to the OP, because he/she wanted answers after failing out of school. He/she already got answers he/she wanted.
