  1. Public health nursing BC

    I work in public health right now. The basic criteria for hiring is preceptorship in public health, or experience in maternity or peds...they won't (and I mean absolutely will not) hire from med/surg. So that would be your first start! But job wise, ...
  2. Is is worth applying for Fall 2013 now?

    If you can apply for Jan 14, does that not mean that Fall 13 intake is closed? I think by mid february, most programs have already accepted their applications for the upcoming fall semester. My advice - apply, apply, apply. there are so many people c...
  3. For those offered a position before graduating

    Many of my classmates, including myself, were offered a job by the manager on the floor they completed their final preceptorship on. We still had to go through the online application process, screening call, reference checks - but essentially, instea...
  4. BCIT Jan 2013 Applicants

    Hi BulmaBriefs - I appreciate your response. I know it is frustrating, as I was once there too. I believe I found out October 31 (several years ago - so the system hasn't changed much). BUT, I hope you guys keep some perspective. There are SO MANY ap...
  5. BCIT Jan 2013 Applicants

    @Progressor - I think that's taking it a bit far. You knew from the getgo when you applied, what the deadlines for applications were. Did you really think that they were going to sort through 300-600 applications right away in June (or whenever the ...
  6. BCIT Jan 2013 Applicants

    Jan intakes actually have 3 summers, August intakes 2 to complete those extra courses. That "extended" term of 30 weeks is no big deal - depending on your intake, you have 2-3 online courses (and they starting at different times during April and May ...
  7. BCIT August 2012

    Richmond Hospital has not been used as a level one hospital as far as I know, although this may have changed in the past few years. When I was in level one they used Surrey, Langley, Lions Gate, Burnaby and MSJ We were told there is no difference bet...
  8. BCIT Jan 2013 Applicants

    It is possible to get accepted without doing the LIBS and HMGT courses before the program; taking those in advance strengthens your application, but is not a requirement. However, they do typically require you to have 1 university English course, and...
  9. BCIT August 2012

    The best advice I can give you is to relax! Enjoy your summer! Do your Jarvis pre-readings, but other than that, enjoy the break that you have, because you are in for a busy 3 years. I am graduating from the program and quite simply, feel burnt out. ...
  10. BCIT, Langara and Kwantlen?

    All three have excellent nursing programs. BCIT looks for a minimum of 60 postsecondary credits (due to high number of applications creating competition). I think Langara and Kwantlen accept students directly from high school? But it is best to confi...

    If you don't have all of your records, you can go to your doctor / a walk-in clinic and they will order blood tests to see what you are immune to. Have them fill out the form with the results. They typically shortlist ~150 applicants.
  12. BCIT Jan 2013 Applicants

    Extremely competitive. All nursing schools are. The website states that you need 30 credits, but due to the number of applications, the minimum is at least 60+.
  13. RN school wait lists in BC

    hi guys - is your prereading from the Jarvis assessment book? (not sure if they have added prereading for other courses since I was in level one). If so, that prereading is for your assessment course, which is only for the first 5-6 weeks of term. i ...
  14. RN school wait lists in BC

    Oh that must be it - I've never purchased from the independent sellers, only the warehouse. Definitely cheaper than the bookstore price :) but if you have alternative means to get them cheaper, that works too! I would also recommend the BCIT nursing ...
  15. RN school wait lists in BC

    what does amazon.com say exactly? i'm interested to know why you guys can't ship from .com, as i would say most of my classmates order from .com (as .ca is more expensive, even when paying for shipping). i've never had a problem shipping textbooks to...
