BC NP Summer/FALL 2026 APPLICANTS

Published

Wanted to start a forum for NP applicants for the 2026 school year. I've applied to TRU and UNBC. Background is in nursing station work in northern BC and primary care with 10 years experience.

They prioritize indigenous students. Or those who are local to Kamloops/interior and plan to stay here and work local after graduation as well or who want to work indigenous communities after.

I also have applied to all 4 schools! Best of luck everyone. 

I was wondering if you can guide me on the five essential principles of Primary Health Care as set out in the WHO. I'm having a hard time distinguishing and would appreciate any help!

@ERNurseHailey Hi! Can you keep me updated on what you hear back?

I am on a similar boat. I think I am stuck on improving my GPA, I've done the stats course. Im originally from Alberta and done very well in the last 2 years of my schooling only getting As and Bs but when my GPA was converted it seemed quite a bit lower than expected. Ofcourse due to personal things did very poorly in my schooling the first 2 years which I think a lot of my credits were pulled from due to the number of pass/fail courses in my final years. I feel stuck as I hope to get in, and asked but cannot find clear answers on what courses to take to help me boost up my GPA. 

Specializes in ER, rural.

The most valuable information I was given was to take upper-level courses, so anything about 200 level. I have since enrolled in my Master's of nursing to try and an increase my overall GPA! 

Hello!

I applied for TRU and UNBC. First time applying but my boss convinced me. I am a nurse at a rural indigenous band in the Okanagan. I have experience in ER, labour and delivery and corrections.

I am so anxious!! This is my third year applying and I have done so much work to better myself as a candidate! I really hope they look at that instead of my undergrad.... I found out I didn't get in to TRU last year Dec 1st so I am sure we won't have to wait too much longer!

Specializes in Remote/Rural.
