mb96 BSN, RN

Congrats to everyone who got in so far!! To those still waiting by now, I'd personally say stick by your backup plans but keep hoping for the positive ? You will all get there in time. Was accepted in May 2019 and finished just last month!...

Course work wasn’t too bad! Of course, it’s all really overwhelmingly new in Term 1 since you’re learning how to think, act, and respond as a nurse. I didn’t yet know how to study in Term 1, and it ended up taking all my time; I had a less than ideal...

Thanks so much! With COVID we thought it would be super rough, but we all came out unscathed, thankfully. Yeah, I plan to start studying for the NCLEX in a month or so. We can apply to jobs right out the gate — BCCNM (our RN licensing body) offe...

Congratulations everyone on your acceptances!! How EXCITING, especially during such a tough time. You all worked so hard and finally got this far! To those who didn’t get in — you’re still amazing ? Keep up the good work! I just graduated fr...

Hi everybody! I haven't found an active discussion thread for September 2019 applicants to UBC's BSN program yet, so here is one!

Still in session, but online! Tbh, it's really stressful -- UBC Nursing is scrambling to solidify their decisions and it makes us anxious; waiting for more updates gets annoying sometimes. I much more prefer in-person exams, clinicals and labs -- exa...

@bbbeee So far, Nursing isn't anticipating delayed grad (hopefully not) - Term 3 is supposed to start on April 27th. UBC moved to online courses, so theory will most likely be online in the Summer with labs and clinicals in-person, although again the...

Good luck everyone on your admissions!! To be honest COVID has put a dampener on our studies right now. In-person clinicals and labs were cancelled until further notice since Monday this week, which makes our workload heavier than usual -- more tasks...

@Kathleen L ^^Seconded! I'm in the lower cohort (admitted summer 2019, Class of 2021) and Term 1 is VERY busy!! Term 2, which we're 1/4 of the way through, is very flexible since the workload is lighter/you have more free time, and most people take o...

Hi @bbbeee! Sorry for not seeing this message earlier -- Nursing school is busy!! But don't be nervous ❤️ I know the application process seems daunting! Sadly, I have no idea what my admission GPA was since it's most likely calculated differently by ...

Ahah I know ? the schedule makes it looks scary! The labs are supposed to be 2 hours in a day — it just depends on the timeslot we get. Once clinical starts we only get 1 day of labs and are only on campus for 2.5 days per week, phew.

Haha that's true. I live in North Vancouver so my commute and driving times aren't so long at all. You'll find a way to transit from far-away places! Carpooling is an option ?

thanks so much Tanner ♥️ Can’t wait to meet you too, and I’m super glad to see how supportive and caring our cohort is~~

Yay, I’m 90% sure that I want to attend this September...just something to think about — thanks so much for the encouragement ?

Oh that's super cool -- what an admirable profession! Yeah, it's honestly up to you. It sounds like a hard career decision/switch between two interests! I hope you can figure it out soon. I'd love to work in pediatrics or mental health as well!

You're able to defer! @Kathleen L I think a few students who deferred their admission last year are attending Nursing this year ? I'm 10% wondering if I should defer mine as well, even though I completed the BLS, Mask Fit, signing forms etc requireme...

Thanks for letting us know supriya! I’m glad a couple/half of the Term 1 textbooks we need are already owned by my sister lol ??

@sss29 If you’re on student loans, you have the option to apply for a 17-week Term 1 loan (that’s Sept-Dec) and then a 17-week Term 2 loan (you apply in Oct/Nov for Term 2 Jan-April student loans). I’m a current UBC student and was fine paying each t...

YAY everyone, we'll be seeing each other in Sept!! ❤️ Unfortunately I can't go since I have a family obligation tonight but have fun everyone!!

Ahah, yeah, I think students who applied to UBC BSN as a Program Change only pay $100 for the deposit /unless/ you have some $100 tuition credit left over which is applied to it. I only paid $100 as well ?

Ohh okay that’s good to know, thank you ? I emailed her to make sure! And I did forget that A. they don’t count after Dec 2018, and B. any current grades should be within 10% of our admissions average, which is probably why I got worried! Sorry for t...

NVM, it does transfer to UBC as first year English credit, but I already have my Corpus Christi English 3-credit English 112 transfer credit processed. I’m going to call Ruxandra once I can...

O.o Well I’m taking ENGL 1127 and it doesn’t transfer to UBC though (I took it at Langara Summer Sem for fun since I don’t need it anymore for Langara Nursing — I didn’t want to waste the grant I received), and I know they only use “university-transf...

Cool ? I hope everything goes well for you! Of course, your personal life is important! And since UofT was your first choice/first dream school, and you can see yourself building a life as a Nurse there, it makes all the sense! (The same goes for me ...

Thank you so much ❤️ It’s great to get empowerment from UBC Nursing grads!!! I think I’m overreacting for sure ? I talked to a few more upper years and they said we’ll still have time for self-care/taking breaks! I’m not too worried now!
