I am so excited to be starting nursing at BCIT in August!
For future applicants: To have a strong application make sure you have work experience, volunteer experience (preferably healthcare), as well as liberal arts courses - my Psych 241 at SFU transferred over as a libs course and I will find out if any other courses of mine transfer over once I send them an updated transcript.
I am going to be going in with a completed BSc in Kinesiology and Psychology, but a full degree is not necessary, just at least 60 credits to be competitive!
I believe this new thing that they developed, the questionnaire, is to basically explain to nursing students, what key qualities a nurse is required to have when working within the health care industry and when working with others. There are certain skills that we are supposed to have and learn and they ask questions to see whether or not we have used these skills and to give an example of each skills. It's very interesting, lol.
I am finishing up at SFU in April and then starting Nursing in August. However, I have not completed my LIBS 7001 or LIBS 7002 courses yet and I kind of feel burnt out from this semester of school. I can't decide if I should take LIBS 7001 and LIBS 7002 now or next summer. Any advice?!?!
Hey SIMBURGER - I finished my degree last April and started LIBS 7001 and 7002 on the same day. I don't recommend doing it. I found them very tough and constantly faced burnout. I got through them and im happy about that but it was a lot to handle coming off of a full courseload.
