Hi Tito! A lot of people in my year (degree holders) have children. I can already count 7 off the top of my head without trying very hard... some of them have multiple kids. There are also those who work during school! Nursing school is demanding reg...

Great suggestion! Brentwood is a great area to look into (I'm there too). We actually don't go to Foothills unless you are placed there for your clinical. You can be placed at various hospitals including Rockyview, Peter Lougheed, South Health Campus...

Lectures will be on the main campus =)

Congrats Malubaby!

Hi @Jennysi I'm sorry I'm not too familiar with the parking situation as I don't drive to school. However, quite a few of my classmates park at the Brentwood LRT station (free) and then walk to class (15 min). Once you meet your clinical group, there...

Yes, you are absolutely correct! In your acceptance package there will be instructions on which courses and sections to register for. The course with the TBA schedule is indeed the lab/clinical course where you will be randomly assigned to one of two...

There are two schedules and you will be randomly assigned to one of them. You will have class 4 days a week and get either Monday off or Thursday off. If you have Monday off, then Thursday will be your full day clinical day (8 hours), and vice versa....

Congrats on the acceptance! There is typically a welcome day early January, the week before the official classes start. There will also be a few tasks to complete before you start (criminal record check, vaccination history/update, CPR, N95 fit-testi...

The new cancer center in Calgary is not set to open until 2023

My pleasure!

I'm not sure if admissions will tell you your GPA... it depends on who picks up the phone. Grant, as in student loan? Here's the application info for Alberta Student Aid: How to Apply | Alberta Student Aid

Glowree, are you applying for the January entry? You need to complete all of your courses by August 31st. Any way you can move your exam up?

@Moderators Any way to combine the two U of C 2019 threads we have going? Thanks!

Hi Malubaby They don't release the GPA, but the minimum cutoff seems to be around the 3.5 range based on the people who got admitted. The second question is a bit tricky and I've gotten mixed answers from U of C. They want you to finish all requireme...

No worries! In my previous degree, I had a "Program Completion Letter" I could download to prove that I had met all of the requirements for the degree even though my graduation ceremony is later. Does your institution have something like that? If so,...

Hi there HarryKane, Do you mean you won't complete your degree requirements before the fall? Or do you mean that you will complete all the requirements but the official convocation will not occur until then?

Hello! I know quite a few individuals who worked throughout their degree. It depends on how strong you are academically and what you wish to achieve in terms of grades. U of C nursing is broken down into 8 terms and degree holders start in term 3. Th...

When I asked U of C Nursing, they said that pre-reqs have to be finished by August 31st to be considered for January entry. I completed my Athabasca A&P course on August 18 and they were able to give me my final grade on August 31 (I had to rush ...

My suggestion is to screenshot your transcript and email it to U of C nursing admissions so they can tell you whether you've met the pre-requisites.

Hi Kleanza, 1) Strictly grade-based 2) No interview If accepted, there are a few things you need to complete before courses start, but you may be able to get those done in the city you live in. These things include a criminal record check, vaccinatio...

My pleasure! Everyone I've met so far have been happy to car pool. I forgot that the "term" system for nursing was quite confusing! For degree holders, you enter in term 3 (2nd year) and there are 8 terms in total. From terms 3 through 8, you will ha...

Hi, The placements from Term 3 to Term 6 will be randomly-assigned (i.e. they do not look at your address to give you an convenient placement). The groups are also randomly-assigned, so there is no guarantee that you will live close to a group member...

Hi Leikol, They generally take the highest grade that matches the requirements. What I recommend is send them an email with a screenshot of your transcript and ask them which courses they would use and whether your GPA is competitive (it will depend ...

Your clinical groups (the people you are with) and your instructor will change each term.

You will have class 4 days a week and get either Monday off or Thursday off. If you have Monday off, then Thursday will be your full day clinicals (8 hours), and vice versa. You will have labs/clinicals during the afternoons of Tues, Wed, and Fri, en...
