2 semesters into UVic. Unfortunately they've been kind of all over the map with when synchronous classes happen. Both our semesters have had: 1) NP courses on Thursday mornings from 9-12. 2) MN core courses in evenings, variable days. Term 1 it was ...

Hi all,
I wanted to add some positives for
the UVic program. Most of the profs have been great. Each semester there is always one who isn't but the rest are fantastic. UVic has incredible scholarships, so it was actually incredibly affordab...
Hi all,
I've applied to both programs to start in September 2023, and wanting to commiserate with anyone else who is anxiously waiting to hear. Looking back at previous years I'm feeling a bit discouraged since the admissions average seemed to b...

I'm sorry Elephant1234- that really sucks. I can't really shed much light on how they judge applications, though I have heard from previous students that the personal statement is critical and the references really should be glowing and from people w...

I wanted to confirm just because UBC is just over 10k for the whole program which is incredible! I don't think it will be substantially more but I wanted to make sure before I decline my ubc offer!

Well it's been a crazy week. Anyone else making a decision about which program this week? I'm waiting to confirm UVic's tuition. I believe it's around 6K per year but I'm not sure.
Also is anyone interested in starting an online group for t...

I don't believe the number of applicants is publicly available anywhere. As for number of seats:
UBC- 30
Uvic- 25 (I think, 5 are post-degree seats)
TRU- 15
UNBC- I'm not sure, is it 15 or 20?

I just got an email from UBC with an acceptance offer!
They are giving people until April 4th to decide, so if you are waitlisted, you should know more by then!
alibaba3 replied to alibaba3's topic in NP Students
I asked UVic back in October or November about the acceptable courses, and these were listed. I'm currently enrolled in the SOCI 301 and so far it's really straightforward. The other ones I think are more work and not as relevant.
kind of...

Mine was also updated to say recommended by department, which seems to be pre-provisional acceptance! Yabadabadoo! Hopefully that's what it means, otherwise it's pretty mean!

Hey all!
Sort of unrelated but hoping someone here may have more knowledge than myself, or have a resource they can share. I'm wondering if you are employed by a Health Authority as an NP, do you receive a pension through MPP still? Or will I ha...

I just got the call from UBC too! Good luck to everyone! He did mention he had more people to schedule interviews for, so I think it will keep going on for the rest of the day, and probably some tomorrow too given the time of the day ☺️

Thank you for letting us know! Congratulations!
I believe the due date for TRU is March 22. I was also hoping to hear back from other schools before I put the time, money and effort into applying!
alibaba3 replied to alibaba3's topic in NP Students
That's weird! I would double check because they literally said that during the Q&A session- maybe follow up again and say, per the session you said to apply? Honestly total nursing experience should count way more than just the last 5 years!
