I can’t find much information online on other students’ experience applying for KPU BPN or rather their experiences in the program. I made this post in hopes to find others applying for this intake for an open discussion!
Some things I’d love to know is what GPA you applied with, where you’ve volunteered, and why you chose psychiatric nursing!
Feel free to also chime in with any other things you’d like to discuss!
I declared on January 10th with a GPA of 3.6, volunteered at BCMHA and loved it. I personally chose psychiatric nursing for my love of psychology and helping others heal and grow. I grew up with hospitality, compassion, and a strong curiosity for the way the mind works.
I don’t trust KPU anymore. I’m sure tons of students that didn’t get into BSN fall 2019 declared into BPN ... I’m shocked so many people (40) had gpas above 3.6 ....
I’m sure it’s because the ppl applying for BSN used BPN as their back up plan due to high GPA cutoff for BSN... I have no info either. Honestly I’m just so upset. I thought they’d at least open another intake as they’ve done it before.
Yes I’m really upset too. So ridiculous. I thought they would do something to avoid this outcome.... Kpu hasn’t said anything everyone I have spoken to has no info. Just waiting to get an email back from admissions....
I was beyond shocked to read that both of you didn't get in for this intake ?
Are you both going to reaaply and did they tell you what the GPA cut off what for the BPN program?
I feel as though it's not fair for BSN students to declare into BPN. They are not passionate about psych nursing and are only applying to secure a spot such a piss off.
Yeah, it was quite disappointing! They never let us know what the GPA cut-off was, unfortunately.
I actually ended up applying to BCIT immediately after being rejected from KPU and got into the BSN program, but I also reapplied to KPU’s BPN program before being noticed of my acceptance at BCIT.
It definitely sucks but it’s become quite common for people to apply for the BPN program for a shorter wait to get into the program. Same goes for Douglas ?
