  1. BCIT January 2020

    wizkid1 replied to Academiclifer's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Hello, It all depends. Majority of spots are offered to students who have degrees. When it comes to point scoring on the application process, if you have a degree out score the most points, then 60...

  2. Applying to BCIT’s BSN with no degree?

    wizkid1 replied to mimiee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those cases are special circumstances. I would assume those who got in without degrees had really competitive GPAs (3.5+) and extensive volunteer experience in health care (specifically in a TLC...

    wizkid1 replied to Academiclifer's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I can tell you, I did not have 90% in every prerequisite class, specifically the university ones. My highschool marks were fine except for Chemistry, so I used my second year OChem mark from...

    Grats! From what I know, those who aren't top 15 will most likely not get a spot for the Sept2019 intake. Those who are top 15 will either get a spot for Sept2019 or Jan2020 depending on whether or...

    Just make sure one of them is an ethics class and the other one to be something around the area of critical reading and writing! GL and ask them during the period before term 2, that is the time my...

    Np and I guess not. But taking them earlier would have helped. My friend told me that some students complained about the workload for one for the classes. Specifically LIBS7001, but it all comes down...

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Yes, you can probably Google the old nursing program schedules but there are 2 LIBS courses that will need to be taken. My friend who is in the 2018 September intake told me they are taken during term...

    LIBS 7001 and 7002 or 7021 are taken during the nursing program. These two courses can be taken ahead of time

    The application process is pretty standard but the 2020 intakes will require CASPR, which is basically a video conference mmi. When it comes to the application process, they score each application...

    I would be going with Langara if I didn't have that situation where my human anatomy courses don't transfer over properly for Langara. All I know is that Langara appears to have a better program for...

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    From what I know, the application process is the same with the addition of CASPer. From what my friend has told me (friend did CASPer for a different program in the UK) CASPer is essentially MMI's...

  12. BCIT September 2019 Intake Discussion

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    The main reason I chose BCIT was cause I transferred over from SFU and the problem with SFU is that the anatomy courses don't transfer over properly to Langara. I have to take an additional course...

  13. BCIT September 2019 Intake Discussion

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    From what I know, both BCIT and Langara are solid programs. I've spoke with nurses before and they tend to prefer students from either over UBC due to the fact that they tend to be better prepared in...

    The final consideration considers everything. The competition i'm not too sure, but you can email BCIT nursing and they can give you info on the number of students that applied, the number that got...

    Based on what you said for your application, I would assume that you would make it to Stage 2 for

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Essentially yes. This is a part of an email that I received from a program advisor: If you read up on work experience, it isn't mandatory to have health related work experience, it just looks better...

  20. BCIT September 2019 Intake Discussion

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    If you have ever done the UBC personal profile that is required for applications into certain programs, the questionnaire is essentially that. And for me, I think its the context of how I wrote it,...

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    The questionnaire was more like general interview questions. They would ask you something and you would write on it, like for example, "Tell us a time you had to use your leadership skills" or...

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    My application is pretty similar to yours. I have a completed Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences at SFU. My cGPA is about the same as yours, and my marks are within the B to A range for...

    wizkid1 replied to wizkid1's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    You application looks great! Unfortunately applicants score more points when they have a completed degree, but since you have a fair amount of credits already, that will give you a high score. In...
