   Pcmama replied to zebbiana101's topic in CA Programs

   To be honest I think it’s a prestige thing with BCIT. From what I understand the NCLEX passing rates are pretty similar. Ultimately what matters is that you get a good education that opens up doors for you, and doesn’t bankrupt you.

   Pcmama replied to zebbiana101's topic in CA Programs

   Personally I chose Douglas even though I could have gotten in to Langara or BCIT faster because of the cost savings and overall good reputation of the school. It’s also the most convenient to me. I have enjoyed it so far and have had some great facul...

    @roseypoo I worked too. I work on a Redevelopment Project at one of the local hospitals which is a great way to make contacts while you are waiting. Other than making sure all your vaccinations are up to date there isn’t much else you can do. You wil...

11. WINTER 2020 - Douglas College Intake

    Pcmama replied to roseypoo's topic in CA Programs

    The wait for Douglas is usually 2-2.5 years after you finish your pre-reqs. OP will probably get in Fall of 2021 or thereabouts. I had a 3.92 GPA and finished August 2017, and I start my program Fall 2019.
