Nursing programs in BC....

Specializes in Nursing Intended.

Has anyone on here gone to Trinity Western University, UBC, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Douglas College, or BCIT?

Can someone tell me their experiences at these schools? Are they good?

Is TWU tooooo expensive? Or worth it?

What about Kwantlen? Is there is a long wait list?

Is the program as good as Douglas College, etc?

What are the chances of getting into these schools?

Thanks,

Welcome to the site

I have moved your thread to the Canadian nursing programs forum, sure there are a few threads discussing these universities

Hi! I'm a first year BSN student at the University of the Fraser Valley. Trinity is very expensive. My aunt works there and I did look into it but for those tuition rates your not getting anything special compared to other schools. I don't know too much about the other schools I did apply and get accepted to kwantlen but UFV was my 1st choice due to location. I know that its pretty competitive out there in general.

Good luck!! :-D

I just attended a preview weekend at TWU in Langley BC. I generally got a good feeling about the University. They told us that TWU nursing graduates are very sought after out there. I don't know how true this is. Is this worth paying $22k per year x 4 years? I don't know.

They claim that because they teach within a Christian environment, they emphasize on compassion and that's why employers seek their graduates.

I will be going for a campus tour at UFV soon. Can't wait to compare the two universities.

@Megama: I went to the preview weekend for TWU in Langley BC as well but a couple years ago. They told me the same thing, in that they were sought after. Hmm.

That price does seem a bit hefty. I think that to me was a deal breaker as other school are perhaps just as good but cheaper? Still looking into it myself.

Not sure if it's worth it. But that's perhaps just me. Hmm.

I was going to check out UFV myself, but it is in Chilliwack. A bit too far for me. :(

Good luck!

Have any of you thought about the Langara nursing program? There are no waitlists to get in as its based off your gpa only and the tuition is affordable in comparison to schools such as Trinity etc.
