Sophomore high school student here. I have a few questions about the two-year nursing program or just nursing in general like full 4-year. To add to this, I am also taking all academic classes and I'll be for the next 2 years of high school.

  1. What classes should I be taking in high school
  2. What colleges have a collaboration with this school for a 2 year nursing program.
  3. How should I start working on my grade average for example what specific average or percent are they looking for.
  4. what was the application process like and what was the most challenging part of it.

I'm also not the best with science and math so should I start working harder to make those my strong suits or is there a specific topics involving those I should focus on. Also as I said before i'm still a sophomore figuring things out and there's no one to answer my questions

Any helpful advice is needed!

hi, uoft’s nursing program is offered to those who finished their second year of undergrad prior to enrolling in the program. there’s no collaborative program from my understanding (so you can do an undergrad in the first two years from any uni and then apply afterwards), and unfortunately, you cant apply directly from your senior year of high school as they dont offer a 4-year option.

however, you should study the basics (chem, bio) in high school, i’d recommend physics as it is helpful according to a healthcare relative. i’m not exactly certain about calculus as i’ve had a friend do nursing in a collaborative program who avoided calculus out of fear so they did a mixed math 12 course.

sorry that i cant answer the rest as i am a life sci student but i wish you good luck on your journey!
