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!
Re: car I would suggest speaking to somebody at Bcit. I'm currently in level 2 and a lot of people car pool as we often have to be at the hospital 6-630 am. For level 5, access to a car is ideal because you have back to back appointments in a day, and they may not be in the same neighbourhood. That being said, Bcit is fairly accommodating, and will probably help you figure this issue out. Good luck
Regarding the car for level 5 -- you must have use of a personal vehicle if you are placed in home health for your community clinical because you will be transporting personal health records. It is a confidentiality issue. You will hear more about this at your orientation.
Good luck to all of you - I am sure you will love (and sometimes hate, ...but not really :)) BCIT nursing as much as me!
Hello, I was wondering if you get accepted if you can defer your acceptance to the January 2014 intake? Also, how exactly would you do this and is it guaranteed? I am finishing up my Kinesiology degree this year at the University of Calgary and really want to be able to do both! Thanks and good luck everybody!
Just to be 100% clear- its due by tomorrow right? So im guessing by like 4? I think it said on the login page when the quiz expires, but can someone else confirm aswell so my nerves are eased :s
