Nipissing SPP 2020 Applicants

Published

Hi! I am applying to Nipissing's Scholar Practitioner Program for Fall 2020. I am really excited about it and would love to connect with other students who are in the same boat!

How is your application going?

Can someone please explain to me how narrative inquiry is incorporated in the program? I understand what it is but how is it integrated into the curriculum specifically??

I see it more like how they will teach us. Instead of traditional lecture styles, we will be sharing our clinical experiences in the lectures.

For example: instead of the nurse educators telling us the symptoms of, say, bronchitis, they will share with us a story of how they once had a patient with bronchitis, and their thought process. It allows us to reflect too.

Hope this helps...but again...I'm not too sure myself ?

On another note: I'm worried that they might cancel interviews because of the coronavirus. Do you guys think that's a possibility?

For those of you that chose UHN for your placement option, what made them stand out to you compared to the rest of the organizations?

Hi everyone,

I am currently preparing for my interview for SPP and was wondering if anyone had any insight on the "preparatory activity prior to the interview" or any tips for the interview.

Thanks!

I checked on last year's thread and apparently they had to write about what the word courage means to them. It could be completely different for us but I think it's probably something creative (not knowledge based).

@Nurse.I thanks for emailing them!! Universities including Nipissing have started shifting to online classes so in-person interviews getting cancelled is becoming a very real possibility now. I prefer in-person over video call interviews so I am nervous about what is going to happen!

I imagine there won't be any preparatory activity if interviews shift to video. We'll see!

Just wondering has anyone received a rejection letter yet?

They've cancelled all interviews!

Admission is based on our supplementary application is what they said in their emails ?

How are all you feeling about the cancellations? I understand and appreciate the cancellations but I am definitely a little nervous knowing that we won't have that additional chance to talk about our skills and dedication to the program. I really hope this is all for the best and good luck everyone. Thanks for being so supportive throughout this process.

I guess the next time we hear from each other will be early to mid April. I can't wait!!
