  1. Improving my CV to get into UBC or BCIT NURSING

    I'm in the program. I think any type of health related volunteering is fine. I'd just go with what interests you the most. If you really enjoy a certain area, volunteer experience will look great if you're applying there (or in a related area) later ...
  2. UBC September 2014 Applicants

    Hi futurenursecanada, I'm currently in the program so might be of some help. I would definitely talk about surviving bullying if you are comfortable to do so. Unfortunately, nurse incivility/bullying is a big problem and talking about your experience...
  3. UBC Nursing - Sep. 2012

    Mine was $250. I doubt it really matters as it's just a tuition deposit, but it is strange. I'm not originally from UBC- maybe continuing UBC students have a lower deposit? Also congrats to soandroid- it will NOT be long for you now! Good luck to al...

    Absolutely! It'd be great to put faces and names to you all

    Agreed- if the normal system is not going to work go to an adviser immediately and explain the situation. There must be a way of making it work! Good luck to everybody still waiting- based on how long it took them to hand out all the interview invit...

    Congrats everybody! I also got an offer today- what a relief. Good luck to those still waiting, I'm sure you'll hear soon!

    Really interesting to hear everybody's experiences with the interview! I think that overall it went very well. I also got quite a few words of praise about my answers and found that most of the interviewers seemed very kind. It did seem like they wa...

    Thank you, erob, for your response! I had my interview yesterday and agree with empathetic gal- it ran smoothly and wasn't unreasonable in any way. Apparently we should (theoretically) hear from them in 2-3 weeks.

    Thank you Erob! Any general tips for those of us who are going to be interviewing in the next couple of days?

    Purplepower03- I'm certainly no expert but some anecdotal advice... The clubs/organizations must be within the past 5 years. They will ask you the start and end date that you were active in the club and what it was. I personally had not been a member...

    We are supposed to let them know if we can attend by the 3rd, and the website says you should know if you have an interview by the end of the first week of April, so it's completely possible that they are holding back some of the interviews to give o...

    teeheeuhoh- at the information session that i attended they stated that 200 people would be interviewed, 120 people would be accepted. they did not talk about the break between semesters- maybe someone going through the program now will be able to ...

    Congrats to everybody so far! I got my invitation today and couldn't be more relieved- hopefully they keep handing them out throughout the week. It's not showing up on my SSC message centre so double check your e-mail contacts if you have any doubts....
  14. UBC Nursing - Sep. 2012

    If you're worried that you've missed the e-mail, iheartpurple, you can check out the message centre on the student service centre. That should have a copy of every e-mail they've sent to your e-mail account and whether or not it was delivered success...

    I'm also still waiting (impatiently!). My last name starts with an N if it matters at all.
