RPN Full Time Jan 2027
Durham PN January 2027 – What should I expect?
Hi everyone! I recently received and accepted my offer for the Practical Nursing program at Durham College for January 2027 🎉
I’d love to hear from current/recent PN students about what I should expect, especially during the first semester.
For those who have done full-time vs FLEX, which would you recommend and why? Asking because I took on full time and thinking I should have taken on flex to be able to work my regular hours.
What is the class/clinical schedule usually like, and how manageable is it with a part-time job?
What should I know about clinical requirements before starting (TB test, immunizations, Synergy, CPR/BLS, police check, etc.)?
When/how do we get information about uniforms, shoes, equipment and textbooks, and what do you actually recommend buying? Is it worth buying the $1000 bundle? Do I need to get other books after getting the bundle?
How are clinical placements assigned, and when do they usually start?
And generally, what do you wish you had known before starting Durham PN?
Also, if anyone else has been accepted for January 2027 PN, I’d love to connect! 😊
Thank you! ❤️
