  1. UBC Nursing 2010-2011

    For the 2010-2011 class, are they still getting the scrubs (and suggested equipment) from Aloft? Last year, many of the students had problems with some of the equipments (e.g. blood pressure cuffs were broken, the stethoscopes were not comfortable, ...

    I can tell you, with personal experience, that having a "W" on your transcript will not affect your chances of admission... at least it did not for me. And to answer an earlier question in the thread, the staff did say the average age for the 2009 Se...
  3. Hey mva2, For BCIT, I've heard commonly that the more post-secondary credits you have accomplished, the more likely you are to get in. It does not have as much to do with the major you've studied in (I have friends in Poli Sci who got in), as long a...

    Lol, no problem. I still have a faint dark spot where the welt used to be. I don't know, hopefully I'm just weird... haha. P.S. Does anyone know if we'll get free flu vaccines? I heard people involved in health care gets free flu vaccines, since w...

    Well, the nurse who administered it said I might have a stronger reaction because I had the BCG vaccine before (can also give false positives). So unless you've had it too, it should go away within a week. No worries!

    Hey lazz1, I was not asked to pay the $150 when I went in for my immunization review... and I have no idea when we have to pay it. The immunization review goes by fairly quickly, especially if your family doctor already filled out the form. The TB s...

    What!? So the Elsevier package isn't even in stores yet? I was going to go all the way out to UBC to buy them on Tuesday! Aw man... thanks for the update though! UBC Bookstore, fail.
  8. UBC Nursing

    Hey lazz1, I found the first term schedule on http://www.nursing.ubc.ca/Current_Students/Documents/Sep2009/Term%201%20-%20Sept%202009.pdf It shows clinicals starting on October 26, and it's got whole days (8am-6pm) marked as clinical practice. I sup...
  9. UBC's 2 yr Program or BCIT's 3 yr Program

    Marina_stdnt, I'm not sure how UofT counts their credits, but at UBC: A standard lecture course lasting 1 semester, either Sept-Dec or Jan-Apr) = 3 credits/course Normal Winter session course load (Sept to Apr) = 10 courses, 5 course per semester So,...
  10. UBC's 2 yr Program or BCIT's 3 yr Program

    Hi Marina_stdnt, Fortunately, your first and second year courses' GPA will not be counted, provided that you have finished 30 credits since then (which, I will assume, you do considering you're finishing your degree). From the UBC Nursing website: ...

    Hey guys, I just bought a pair of shoes today at the Shoe Company. The brand is Merrell, and it's got great arch support, antimicrobial linings, anti-slip soles, all leather, and it's pretty darn comfortable. http://www.merrell.ca/catalogue.php?act...

  13. What's the weirdest baby name?

    I came across sisters named Chanel, Fendi, Gucci, and Versace. And no, they weren't French nor Italian. And surprise, the mom was quite the materialistic woman.

    It was in the e-mail that accompanied the Orientation Week schedule. They asked us to provide some information for the Nursing Bluebook, and, I suppose it doesn't say specifically that it'll be for placing you in a hospital close to where you liv...

    Did everyone have a chance to read through the Orientation Week schedule? I'm feeling even more excited & anxious than before... and pretty bummed that I'll be missing the first day. Seems like lots of useful topics are being covered on Tuesday...
