   Just got mine in Calgary - I passed!!!

2. University of Calgary

   RNStudent2013 replied to CharmedJ7's topic in CA Programs

   I'm in the new program (just finished Term 4) and I'd agree that the emphasis is definitely more on theory and less on skills, maybe even more so in the new curriculum. I really like the program and the school so far, but the curriculum has changed a...

3. Athabasca courses?

   RNStudent2013 replied to Daisy_08's topic in CA Programs

   I don't want to say it's an automatic A, but the textbook for the course was really small and the reading was quite manageable. I think if you put in a decent amount of effort it'd be at least an easy B+/A- if that makes sense? I'm not saying it's no...

4. Athabasca courses?

   RNStudent2013 replied to Daisy_08's topic in CA Programs

   I've taken a couple courses with them and I'd have to say that I prefer going to lecture too! I took their research methodology psych class though and it was stupid easy if you know even the slightest bit about research designs (like longitudinal vs....

5. Nursing schools 2012

   RNStudent2013 replied to Novo's topic in International

   Hi, as of right now the U of A doesn't have a transfer program, but does have the after-degree program and the regular four year program. You might be able to get credit for some courses in the four year program though, like English and A&P. As ...

6. Best time to study?

   RNStudent2013 replied to AppalachianRNstudent's topic in General Students

   I remember learning in one of my psych courses that studying just before bed is better than studying and then doing something like watching TV for an hour before bed. Can't remember the reasoning behind it, but it was something like you don't want ne...

7. Giving up your seat...

   RNStudent2013 replied to miyhaka's topic in General Students

   I was supposed to start my nursing degree in January 2011, but ended up giving up my seat at the last minute for a couple of reasons, including still being two courses away from finishing my first degree (was planning to do these two courses at the s...

8. What are your other degrees in?

   RNStudent2013 replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

   B.A. in Psychology and now starting my B.N. (after-degree) this fall!

9. Second degree in nursing

   RNStudent2013 replied to 2nddegree's topic in CA Programs

   I think you can still apply for the 4-year programs as long as you have the prerequisite high school courses they ask for. I'm starting a "transfer" program at the U of Calgary in the fall and it's for people who have 1.5 years of post-secondary cred...

10. University of Calgary

    RNStudent2013 replied to CharmedJ7's topic in CA Programs

    Hi Grace, As far as I know, they only look at GPA for admissions, but it's only the last 10 courses you took. And I don't think you need to worry yet about having a 3.2... I'm not 100% clear on what competitive average means, but I am guessing it me...

11. University of Calgary

    RNStudent2013 replied to CharmedJ7's topic in CA Programs

    I don't think there is a 3.0 guarantee anymore. For the Transfer route intake this Fall, I was told they were looking at 3.85 as a competitive GPA due to the number of seats they expected to give to Transfer students. The January entry (either Transf...

12. UofA After-Degree Fall 2011

    RNStudent2013 replied to zepher's topic in International

    Can you PM me your e-mail address? I guess I haven't made enough posts to do that yet but I just found the last name and contact info of the person I talked to.

13. UofA After-Degree Fall 2011

    RNStudent2013 replied to zepher's topic in International

    Hmm I'm looking at the courses on BearTracks right now (I'm a current U of A student) and it looks like there are still 94 out of 139 spots open for one of the after-degree classes, so don't give up yet! Did you try calling the Faculty? I had a probl...

14. UofA After-Degree Fall 2011

    RNStudent2013 replied to zepher's topic in International

    I've been "conditionally admitted" for about two months maybe. I think they moved the document deadline to June 30th, so maybe that's why you haven't heard yet?
