Has anyone here got to be an RPN because of Better Jobs Ontario program?
Hello everyone, please be kind. ❤️
I was wondering if anyone here became an RPN through Better Jobs Ontario. How was your experience? Did everything work out well for you?
For some background, I was recently laid off from my HR job, and it’s been discouraging seeing how limited the opportunities are in my field right now.
I already completed a diploma, a degree, and a post-grad program. However, becoming an RN has always been my dream. I know the pathway won’t be easy, but it’s something I’ve wanted for a long time. I actually got accepted into nursing back in 2014 when I was only 16 (which honestly feels so young to start college now lol), but my mom encouraged me to pursue Business instead, so that’s the path I took.
Fast forward to now — I’m 28 with a baby, and I was accepted again into the RPN program at this March. The only issue is that I need to upgrade some of my courses because my high school credits are outdated. Back in high school, I did really well and maintained grades between 80–100%.
Sometimes I feel old starting over, but I also don’t want to rush the process. I want to take things one step at a time. If Better Jobs Ontario is able to help me, I’m planning to work hard to finish my upgrades before December so I can apply for the January 2027 intake.
I’d really appreciate hearing anyone’s experience or advice. Thank you so much!
