    Sorry for the double post earlier... thought my first post got deleted so I wrote a second one haha. Yes the faculty sells the stethoscope, but, last year, they were more expensive than what you could find online and had fewer color choices. The proc...

    Most people get one of the 3M Littmann Classic III Stethoscopes (~$100 -$120 on amazon) but I've seen various types. No requirements that I know of. You will need them within the first few weeks as soon as you start taking blood pressures. You might ...

    Hey guys, just wanted to share another quick tip. You need a valid CPR throughout the program, and the program requires you to renew it every year (even if it says it is valid for longer on your actual CPR card). If you book your CPR course in Januar...

    They will share all of the classes together until term 6. Transfer students have a summer break between term 6 and 7, but degree holders go straight through.

    Let me preface this by saying that it depends on your study style. If you find that you NEED a PHYSICAL book to study from and do well in school, then you'd want to pick up the books for NURS 285, 287, and 288. However, my honest opinion is that you ...

    I wonder if there's a way to merge the two U of C posts we have going haha... @moderators? @Bassem, yes you start clinical in the first semester (term 3). It is a community placement, not long term care. Long term care will start in May for you guys ...

    It's mainly for group work on campus and for taking online exams. In term 3 there is a high possibility that you'll meet with your group (including instructor) during clinical hours and work on your community report together. Many groups do this thro...

    Hey Bkuz, yes there will be a detailed package in the mail with some to-dos before school starts. Off the top of my head, you need to submit a vaccination record, criminal record check, get a CPR certification, and get a N95 fit test (could be some I...

    Congrats on getting in! I am guessing that your orientation will be during the week of January 8th (don't quote me on this though!) and you will meet your clinical group members and instructor on that day. That is also the day when you find out where...

    Last year the GPA calculation was different. They took my GPA from the past 30 credits I obtained. According to my own calculations, I was at a 3.9 GPA. I'm not sure what the cutoff was for my year... but for the year before mine, the lowest admitted...

    I don't think it's a big cause for concern, as they do take a while to get things organized during this time. Last year I had to wait until the end of October before they finished reviewing my file, as I submitted my documents close to the deadline. ...

    Hey Glowree, have you tried calling them to ask why that is? +1 (403) 220-6262 should work.

    Congratulations on everyone who got in! I entered the program in Jan 2017 as a degree holder so I'm almost 1 year in. If I can help answer any questions, let me know!
