I got in :)

Hey guys, Living on Rez is not worth in my opinion. The whole Dunbar area actually is super overpriced. Commuting sucks but it does save you a ton of money and considering you're only in UBC a few times a week it's worth doing in my opinion. Also wholefoods has like 5 chicken breasts for $12 and Langley farm market is super cheap for veggies and stuff! Side note: I've decided on going to BCIT. My pros/cons listed indicated it's the better decision for me. But I'm still hanging around here to see if I get in. I have 3 years experience working as a support worker and I applied with 88% in my last 30 credits. Not gonna lie doe, a part of me cannot wait to reject the UBC ******* hehe (after 5 years there I'm a little jaded ) So good luck to all! I'm sure you guys will all get in! I'm rooting for everyone!

Hey everyone, I haven't been receiving notifications so I thought this group was dead! Glad to see more people joining in the conversation. Thanks to everyone who shared their input into the bsn program and clinicals. I'm still undecided as to whether it'll be BCIT or UBC but I'm leaning towards BCIT so we'll see! Hopefully we all hear back soon!

@to-be-nurse I hope so. I'm getting a tad discouraged as I have recently reconnected with some nurse friends back from my rch volunteering days and they all advised against UBC as app new grads have a hard time keeping up in a hospital. They may just be Debbie Downers but I still worry...

Thank you!!! So it looks like we do get some hospital practice in before the preceptorship. That make me feel a bit more relieved. Freaked out there for a good few minutes

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it seems like placements are only in term 5. The rest of the program you're in a lab with a manequin from what I'm gathering. But if I'm wrong (which I honestly hope I am) please do correct me. It's quite worrying if we don't get to practice our skills on actual humans until the end of the program when BCIT and Douglas students have clinicals from day 1. Just in terms of how competent we'll be as nurses...

Oh I'm game for that! It'll be good to know each other beforehand. Also, have you guys taken LIBS 7001 and 7002? Cuz I haven't and now I'm a little worried that maybe I should have or maybe I should just register for them now while I still can ... Thoughts?

Have you guys checked out how they reformatted the program for 2016-2018? Cuz it looks like we only have clinicals for 3 months at the end of program. And that's pretty crappy

@tdmah fingers crossed!

Thanks @to-be-nurse! We'll see where life takes me. I'm pretty torn between the programs to be perfectly honest. mainly cuz BCIT is so close to home. But we'll see!

Hey guys I got into BCIT!!! UBC would be my number 1 just cuz it's a shorter program and you guys sound great but yay at least my back up wants me! I have to accept by the 27th so I reallyyyy hope UBC gets back to us by then

Woooo! Im in!

Day's still young guys don't lose hope!

Oh I thought they would just take the highest grade but average seems to make more sense. I took 3 courses for the past 3 terms and a summer course so I guess that's how they'll go back. They take summer courses right?

Thanks! I've been calculating GPA by hand but your website works a lot better!
