University of Calgary


Does anyone have any experiences or insight on the University of Calgary? I'm specifically looking at their BNAT program since I already have a bachelors degree. It would also be useful to get a feel for nursing in Alberta in general or what it's like to live in Calgary. I've been living in Montreal for the past 5 years and although I love this city I'm really keen to go west, I just want to make sure it's a good choice school. It makes me a little nervous that they just switched over to guaranteed acceptance at 3.0, but as long as it's sufficiently rigorous and a good educational experience I won't worry about it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Same here I consider going to UofC for Fall 09' but for BNRT though. I have read a survey about the university on macleans.ca and it gives me a second thought on taking their nursing program. Read the article under 'oncampus'. It will give you a good idea what students think about the Univ.

What section are you looking at? I didn't see anything specifically about their nursing program or insight from nursing students. I hear that the medical and nursing schools here are pretty highly regarded, and I was impressed with the facilities they have (they just opened a new simulation center that sounds neat), but I'd definitely like to hear from current students. Could you link me?

I wasnt talking about the faculty itself but as an institution. Yes I agree that they have just recently updated their nursing clinical facility and as well as their course outline which will be effective in January 2010. I am not sure if the students who will be starting on fall 09' are the first batch who will experience the updated course outline.

Talking to current students is the best idea so you'll know what they have to say about the program. BTW this is the link about univ survey http://oncampus.macleans.ca/educatio...udent-surveys/
you will notice that small schools excel the survey. That makes me think of considering Mount Royal College for Nursing. What do you think?
