Nursing RPN/BScN questions.
Im planning on going into Nursing but I've been quite confused on the information given. I understand RPN and RN are different roles, RPN is given after doing 2 years in college, and can do a bridging program in a university for the BScN to get RN licensing.
My question is that while looking through programs in both university and college. There are some programs at TMU and waterloo for instance that are 4 year programs, and then UofT for instance is exclusively a 2 year bridging program.
I wanted to know what the main differences would be if I just went into a 4 year program in nursing at a university vs 2 years at college then 2 years bridging for a RN. Also wanted to know if in the 4 year program, the process of becoming a RPN is skipped considering your doing 4 straight years.
