University of Alberta after-degree BScN program

Hello, I wont lie, I have heard absolute horror stories about the program, and have worked with some people in it. In all honesty I would not recommend it to any one after hearing one girls frustrations about her problems with the program and instructors. However, I guess you have to decide what is best for you, this is just what I have heard from only a couple people in this program. Best of luck!

Hi!

I'll move this to the Canadian section of our website so you can perhaps hone in on some locals.

Good luck.

We get these students all the time at work. The instructors and students have had major attitudes. Too good to work the floor and they all plan on going "into management". It really shows in their patient care.

I don't care what you plan to do once you graduate, BUT until then you have to make beds, do dressing changes and clean up your own code browns. Nursing isn't all hanging IV meds and having conferences with social workers.

I would bet that the programs here in Ontario are just as bad. I have heard many hospital nurses complain about the attitudes of students in many cases. I don't know why these schools give these students these ideas of going straight to management with no work experience. What we need are bedside nurses, not more managers.
