BCIT Jan 2013 Applicants

World Canada CA Programs

Published

Just wanted to get something started as I will be applying for this intake. Let's get this thread going. Fill me in on who you are and why you are applying bcit's nursing program.

I was told that BCIT is the most recognized institution of all nursing schools in BC. There clinical hours which I like and it's a 3 year program. It is also the most competitive, therefore the brightest, smartest, and well rounded individuals will be there. I want to be associated with a competitive environment, makes me work harder and we can learn from each other.

I am currently at kwantlen completing my pre reqs. I have completed my 1st year english and 1st year psych. I will be taking libs 7001 and 7002, 200 level psych course and 2 other bio courses.

Thousands of applicants for OTHER PROGRAMS :) not just nursing applicants

and yes, it is a super long wait....but soooooo worth it once you get in.

It's good to see everyone is so keen here, but try not to stress yourselves too much. When I applied I handed ALL my things on the last day, and in the end I got messages and stuff faster than everyone else (weeks ahead even..).. So just relax! :o)

smiley, what are the hours like for the program? I play a league sport and I am contemplating signing up this season for two different teams. One team has practice on monday night and the other wednesday night. I am planning to be accepted, so lets say I do, are there any night courses? or when do you usually get off lecture and what days tend to be clinical days? and is there any lecture or clinical scheduled for the weekends??

thanks so much!

Hi :) level 1 clinical is tues and wednesday so I wouldn't recommend making any plans for Monday nights as these can be pretty heavy for patient research. My schedule last term (level 1) was Monday's- 830 to 330. Tues/wed clinical-7-2 or 11 ish to 5ish (not everyone alternates) thurs was 830 to 230. Some ppl had Fridays off (but had to come in most weeks for short seminars). I had patho on Fridays from 1030 to 12. There is alot of homework, and like I said Monday nights are the heaviest. And you might not finish clinical on Wednesday's until after 6 (by which time you WILL need a nap). All that being said, it totally depends on you, your studying style, how much you can front load, and how well you can balance everything. Hope that helps :)

That's sweet :) iheartpurple, a girl can never have too many cupcakes. I am sure that if you handed everything in, it's probably just taking a little time for everything to be entered. Admin is very busy prepping for the new term which starts Monday. Don't worry. If you still have not received an email stating that you app is complete and ready for review by September, maybe send an email to the Nursing department just to confirm.- *I saw that you submitted all documents as of Aug 7, correct? You need to allow BCIT 2-8 weeks from that date to review everything and decide if you meet all of the Nursing department requirements.

"Within 2 to 3 weeks of applying to a program, you will be sent a letter in the mail confirming receipt of your application. The letter will identify your student number, BCIT e-mail address and instructions on how to login to your myBCIT account. You can expect to receive communication concerning the status of your application within 2 to 8 weeks" (BCIT, 2012).

Yah, you're right. It's just a bit stressful checking and it hasn't changed. Anyone else in the same boat? Or anyone know of anyone in the same boat? 10 days until they start reviewing!
