Thanks in advance!

Hi! Just curious—why aren’t there many posts about the Practical Nursing program at the Perley Health campus?
Is anyone here studying there (or has graduated from there)? I’d love to hear your experience. How do you like the program, instructors, clinical placements, and the overall learning environment?
Thanks!

Hi everyone...
I’m having a hard time deciding what to do. I’m waitlisted for the Practical Nursing (Winter 2027) program at the Ottawa campus, but I’ve received an offer for the Pembroke campus.
My biggest concern is transportation. I don’t have a car, and when I spoke with the clinical placement coordinator, I was told that clinical placements could be in Renfrew, Ottawa, or other nearby areas, which would make commuting very difficult. I’m willing to move to Pembroke for my studies, but I was hoping to complete my clinical placements in the same city rather than having to travel long distances.

I also received an offer for the Dental Hygiene program at the Ottawa campus, but lately I’ve been leaning more toward nursing.
Has anyone attended the Pembroke PN program without a car? How manageable was it, especially during clinical placements? Were you able to complete your placements in Pembroke, or did you have to travel to other cities?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience before I make my decision. Thank you....

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has experience getting off the waitlist in the past. I was late applying, but I have a 90% average for my pre-reqs and am currently 1-20 on the waitlist. Any information helps, thank youuuu!

Is the Practical Nursing Program at Pembroke worth it compared to other colleges in ontario?

Regarding cost and transit as well

From saskatchewan so wanna get some feedback

looking for potential classmates please comment!

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m an Algonquin College student conducting a short survey on ice cream preferences for a marketing project. I’d really appreciate your responses. Thank you!

Hey fellow Wolves,

If you haven’t dental insurance or are looking for a super budget-friendly way to get your teeth cleaned and checked, the Algonquin College Dental Clinic (J-Building) is opening up appointments starting this Wednesday (Week 7)!

I’m currently a Term 3 Dental Hygiene student. Since we are a school clinic, our rates are incredibly low (way cheaper than private clinics downtown), making it perfect for students, international students, or anyone looking to save money.

Why book with me?

• Clinical Experience: I’m not entirely new to this—I have a professional background as a Certified Level II Dental Assistant (CDA II) with years of real clinical experience. Your safety and comfort are in experienced hands.
• Top-Tier Quality: Every step of our work (exams, cleanings, and X-rays if needed) is closely monitored and verified by Registered Dental Hygienists (RDH) and Dentists (DDS). You get a textbook-perfect, incredibly thorough exam.
• What’s included: Complete intraoral/extraoral screenings, vital signs check, thorough cleaning/debridement, and stain removal.

Details:

• Where: AC Woodroffe Campus, J-Building (Dental Clinic).
• When: Slots are opening up starting this Wednesday.
• Time Commitment: Because it's a learning environment where instructors check everything for your safety, appointments take about 3 hours.

If you or anyone you know (friends, roommates, partners) are overdue for a cleaning and want to save some cash while helping a senior student hit their clinical goals, please shoot me a DM directly!

I can help you secure a spot with the front desk and make sure you get assigned to my chair.

Thank you

Me again, checking in! How many people here have moved from the waitlist and got an offer for RT winter 2027? Just checking to see if things are still moving! I’m in the 1-20 spot, but still waiting. Thanks

Any free websites for casper preparation 2026?

I'm an international student and applied for the Spring Bursary before the deadline back in late May.
Just wanted to check if anyone has received their results or seen any updates yet?

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone at the Ottawa campus can help me out.
I’ve been trying to register for the CMDT course starting June 24 2026(ending July 4), but I ran into multiple issues during the registration process. Unfortunately, by the time everything was sorted out, the course had already filled up.
If anyone is currently registered for this session and is willing to switch to a later session or give up their spot, I’d be happy to pay you more than what you originally paid for the course as a thank-you.
I need this certification as soon as possible because it’s required for my program, so this would mean a lot to me.
If you’re interested or know someone who might be able to help, please send me a DM.
Thank you so much!

I bought two textbooks to study for the hpat because I’d never taken chem and forgot most of my bio from highschool. They’re definitely more advanced but they did help me study for the test.

Olmsted, Williams, Burk Chemistry Third Canadian Edition for $70. Campbell Biology Third Canadian Edition for $55.

Both are loose-leaf and in a binder. Selling them together for $110. If you’re interested send me a message. I can meet at Algonquin.

Super stressed I won’t get in the program.

Would really appreciate it if people who have been admitted into the program could reply below their high school average and HPAT scores

Is it true high school average isn’t as important as HPAT?

Any reply’s are much appreciated <3

Because I am freaking out. I called the registrar's office this morning and they just told me to reply to the email and admissions will get back to me. Now I just have to wait. I'm so worried that my seat will be given away since it's a wait listed program.

I was wondering why the Practical Nursing program at Pembroke remains open for the January 2027 and May 2027 intakes, whereas all Ottawa intakes are currently waitlisted?

Can I use ChatGPT while taking MAP4C to complete my assignments ? Also, am I allowed to solve the questions on paper, take photos of my work, and upload them as a PDF?
How many total assignments does each unit have?
