I’m entering my final year in September ?

To be honest I think it’s a prestige thing with BCIT. From what I understand the NCLEX passing rates are pretty similar. Ultimately what matters is that you get a good education that opens up doors for you, and doesn’t bankrupt you.

Personally I chose Douglas even though I could have gotten in to Langara or BCIT faster because of the cost savings and overall good reputation of the school. It’s also the most convenient to me. I have enjoyed it so far and have had some great facul...

I saw a nurse on Instagram that did capnography with 3 masks on with minimal impact. It was an interesting video.

I recently found out a few people in my class that I have often suspected of cheating have in fact been cheating. That being said, I have not personally witnessed it, so I just have to take solace in the fact that it’s extremely unlikely that they wi...

They literally taught us the first week of nursing school: “the gloves are for your protection not the patients” unless they are sterile gloves for a sterile procedure, they do nothing for the patient.

Just a note: I don’t know how this works in other programs but Douglas has moved mostly to e-texts for nursing which are required and charged with your tuition fees so there is no way to opt out.

If you obtain a very high GPA in your pre-reqs you can get in sooner at Langara or BCIT. At Douglas as long as you get the minimum GPA you can get in but it’s first qualified first admitted so it takes longer (average about 2-2.5 years after finishin...

Good article. I live in Canada where we don’t really have Urgent Care. My area is trying to get this started and have opened some clinics near hospitals where they are open later.. I think around 10 pm. I am a nursing student (RN/BSN program) and my ...

@roseypoo I worked too. I work on a Redevelopment Project at one of the local hospitals which is a great way to make contacts while you are waiting. Other than making sure all your vaccinations are up to date there isn’t much else you can do. You wil...

The wait for Douglas is usually 2-2.5 years after you finish your pre-reqs. OP will probably get in Fall of 2021 or thereabouts. I had a 3.92 GPA and finished August 2017, and I start my program Fall 2019.

Email that I signed up with. My douglas email was cut off awhile ago so it's a good thing they didn't send it there.

Yep: Paying fees in person - Douglas College

I got in! Got my email this morning and paid my deposit right away!

Nothing yet! I called the other day to the registrars office and they said that my application was still pending review but they had no idea when it might be reviewed.

I am dying to know! It's officially been 8 weeks since applications closed so we should know soon?!

I haven't heard anything yet either. I am guessing we will hear the very end of November or the beginning of December. I finished Summer 2017. From what I understand it will be mostly Winter 2017 students getting in and then potentially some of the h...

Who applied for Fall 2018 and when did you finish your pre requisites? My account is still not even showing my pre-reqs which were all done at Douglas. I probably wont get in because I only finished in Summer 2017 so the chances are really low, but ...

Yeah I could have applied you Langara but I don't really want to go there to be honest. I also work at bc women's and children's hospital right now which I think would boost my chances with bcit. You are right though, they do require Chem 11 which I ...

Bummer. I just got an email saying the program is full. I knew it was likely but I was hoping anyways. I have a 3.96 gpa. I'll probably apply for bcit since they go by gpa.
