sorry i dont know anyone that has been thru the program

I know a few people in the program right now.. and honestly its all pretty biased info I've been getting. Everyone in UBC thinks they are getting world class education just because they are at UBC. However, the people who I talk with from *all* other colleges of nursing in BC tell me that their employers don't really like UBC Vancouver grads because they don't have enough experience in the clinical setting during the school years that they have.

But, regardless, nursing is a high demand job right now, and no matter where you go you can probably find a position. Even if you aren't stellar to start, you will be all caught up after a year and a bit of work I'm sure.

does anyone know how competitive the program is to get into? How many people apply/how many get accepted? Avg GPA for students admitted? Thanks

ok guys, i'm starting to lose hope. it's been a month since the interview and they said they would call in 2-3weeks if you are accepted. they should have said something on the website if they are accepting more people this year so that's why it's taking longer. i dunno guys, i wish the nursing department would just pick up the damn phone and tell us what is happening.

It is so frustrating, but don't give up hope since it seems no one has heard anything at all. I emailed Ruxandra about two weeks ago and she said we will be contacted whether we are accpeted or declined so we should be informed of our status soon.

Let's hope for today!!!!!

fingers crossed
