BCIT August 2013 Applicants

World Canada CA Programs

Published

Hello future nurses,

I am so excited to be starting nursing at BCIT in August!

For future applicants: To have a strong application make sure you have work experience, volunteer experience (preferably healthcare), as well as liberal arts courses - my Psych 241 at SFU transferred over as a libs course and I will find out if any other courses of mine transfer over once I send them an updated transcript.

I am going to be going in with a completed BSc in Kinesiology and Psychology, but a full degree is not necessary, just at least 60 credits to be competitive!

Anyone else defer to August?

Ok thank you both !! That was what I was confused about.. Yes I read through the jan one but just didn't know when the deadline was since some ppl handed their documents in way earlier than the deadline. Thank you!

I just thought that I had to hand in my high school trans and resume by the end of this week and I haven't ordered a sealed transcript yet.

Did you guys check the new outline for 2014 intake? They don't need to take those electives except for the two libs courses!!! So nice!!!

@memegumi - For the January 2014 intake and onwards first year Psychology, English and Anatomy and Physiology are part of the academic requirements to get into the program. So instead of completing them in the program they have to be done before.

The only course that those accepted in 2014 don't have to take is HLED 7120 Canadian Health System.

I've heard that HLED 7120 is quite difficult so I consider the 2014 students lucky!

Hi guys,

I'm taking the 6 credit Human Anatomy and Physiology online at Athabasca University. I must say there's a lot to learn but I would highly recommened students taking this course before getting into the program just so you wil have a stronger knowledge of science in general. The only downfall is that the course itself was $1250, it's very expensive...The course consists of 3 quizzes online, 3 assignments and 3 exams. I already did the first quiz and assignment, and it's going great:) I really want to complete it before August of 2013.

You can also look at the UBS transfer credit guide or look at Thompson University for this course, I'm sure there are cheaper ones out there...and there is a rumour that BCIT will soon launch a new A&P course, but I wouldn't wait!

But on an important note, students will definitely benefit from this course and this is part of the reason why BCIT's nursing has made it part of it's requirement; because students who entered the program w/o science knowledge had very hard time in the nursing science courses.

I'm 22 years old, applied with 141 credits which includes a psychology degree, a bunch of volunteer and work experience not directly related to health care, and an A&P course taken at a private school. I applied on the last day December 14. Anyone receive any news whether they've been accepted or not?

If I remember correctly, you don't hear back until early April if shortlisted and then Late April if you're accepted. Long way to go yet.
