BCIT January 2014 Applicants

[matchalatte]

Hi guys,

I thought that now would be an appropriate time to start a new topic for the prospective BCIT nursing students for Jan 2014 (similar threads for previous intakes are also a great source of information).

Hopefully we can share tips, answer questions to the best of our ability, and communicate with each other about when status changes are released and whatnot. Now we can all play the waiting game together, haha!

How much do you get an hour in the final preceptorship?

U get about 10K, it works out to about $18/hr

I have also heard that you can work as an ESN, but then you do not get paid for your preceptorship.

Is there any disadvantage in doing the final preceptorship instead of doing ESN? Like in terms of gaining recognition in the hospitals that you worked in so you can get hired after graduation so that you can apply to any internal jobs. I'm assuming that preceptorship and ESN is very similiar?

Hey, there was a previous thread from a few years ago that contained a similar discussion. If you're interested, here's the link: https://allnurses.com/nursing-in-canada/bcit-aug-2010-a-455143-page2.html.

I can't guarantee the accuracy of their comments though.

It's a toss up. If u work as an ESN u can apply for internal job postings. However, depending on the preceptorship u choose I have heard many BCIT grads get hired from their preceptorship. Usually onto a medical or med/surg unit or other units that do not require specialty courses.
