BCIT Jan 2013 Applicants

[Chhun3]

Just wanted to get something started as I will be applying for this intake. Let's get this thread going. Fill me in on who you are and why you are applying bcit's nursing program.

I was told that BCIT is the most recognized institution of all nursing schools in BC. There clinical hours which I like and it's a 3 year program. It is also the most competitive, therefore the brightest, smartest, and well rounded individuals will be there. I want to be associated with a competitive environment, makes me work harder and we can learn from each other.

I am currently at kwantlen completing my pre reqs. I have completed my 1st year english and 1st year psych. I will be taking libs 7001 and 7002, 200 level psych course and 2 other bio courses.

I don't know if I can handle looking at my email... Agh I'm soooo nervous!Good luck to everyone xoxo

I know, I keep on checking my email on my phone every ten minutes... this is going to be a loooong day! Good luck guys!

My problem is that my phone tells me when I receive an email.... So, it makes no sense to keep checking, however, I keep checking! Does anyone know about the CPR requirement? Like, the healthcare specification (I am recalling from the email that had general information), do community centers regularly offer such things? I have CPR-C, but it has expired recently, so I want to make sure I update the correct certification. Thanks :)

[Nursinghopeful1234]

I'm not sure about community centre but I know St Johns Ambulance offers it they have locations in New West, Surrey, and some other locations too!

I have CPR-C too but the shortlist letter says that we need CPR-HCP (Health Care Provider), so it looks like I'll be re-doing it... I went to Select First Aid in Surrey.

[careubc]

You actually dont need to re-do it, I just realized. Just have to do the HCP recertification which is cheaper.

I should mention I'm a first aid instructor. I was thinking about asking my employer if they would let me run a CPR-HCP exclusively for the people in the program (maybe for a little cheaper or whatnot). This would probably be conditional on getting a seat mind you, as otherwise uni can be pretty time-consuming for me. I'll get back to everyone if people are interested.

I was just provisionally accepted!!!! Funny thing is I didn't get a email or message, only my application status changed! Everyone should check there. Good luck people :)

[amd89]
