Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has taken either BIO 153 or 155 to get into the nursing program at UBC (University of British Columbia). The two courses seem to be the exact same lecture. However, BIO 153 contains a lab/tutorial to it. Has an...

Wow... I didn't think that this thread would come alive again. I haven't posted on this forum in such a long time. I'm really sorry to hear about your last midterm exam. Whether or not you should withdraw now and take it during the summer is totally...

Hey Gemini! (I'm a Gemini too!) I took BIO 153 last year (if I remember correctly, that's the one with the lab?). I found that for his exams, I have to pretty much study everything. I mostly focus on the lecture notes and if there's something I didn'...

Hi everyone, I saw a 3M Littmann Classic II SE Stethoscope Pink Breast Cancer edition for sale for approx. $80 CAD ($63USD). I am planning on applying to nursing school this coming summer. So with that said, I'm not accepted or starting any time soon...

I know that biology is like the core of all medical field related jobs. However, I was just curious. Do any nurses find biology hard/difficult? What do you find difficult? How do you overcome it? How do you study for this subject? I don't believe tha...

Hi everyone, As the summer creeps closer, the sooner I will begin my A&P pre-requisites for nursing school. I am beginning to think more and more about it and am getting somewhat intimidated. I told a whole bunch of people that I know (probably...

MMI means "multiple mini interview" which is the interview format that UBC's School of Nursing uses. If you google for MMI interview questions, you may be able to find questions and practice from that. :) :heartbeat Angel

That sounds really high, did anyone who got below that GPA got invited to an interview? How do they rate your supplemental application actually...?

I spoke to the Nursing Undergrad advisor not too long ago (just yesterday, actually). I think the plan for this upcoming September still holds true and that they are only going to admit 90 people because they're changing their program a bit to add in...

No... I didn't but I'm planning to apply this summer. Hoping to get in for January 2010! What was your GPA (if you don't mind me asking)? Did you complete a bachelor's before applying? etc.

Hey coastliving, I was just wondering, are they asking you to write an essay and then send it in? Or are you expected to write it at the group meeting/interview? Angel

The coupon codes don't seem to work for me... can anyone else get it to work?

Thanks to all who replied! I was just wondering, if a stethoscope has been left unused for a couple years or more, does the plastic tubing harden and crack when you do use it?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of any accelerated nursing programs available in the Vancouver Lower Mainland area. I will be finishing up my Computer Science degree in 2010 and want to move onto nursing because I already know that comput...

Hi Valhalla_Pure, How are you liking the BCIT Nursing program? I heard it's extremely intense, because I have a couple of friends to attend there. Where do you find out about Nursing schools and their open house dates? Thanks, :heartbeat Angel

Does anyone have any ideas of any other nursing programs in Vancouver?? Thanks for all your help, :heartbeat Angel

Why do you say that it's a good school if you're not considering in doing a master's degree? Is it not possibly to get admitted into schools that offer the MSN if we do BSN's from Douglas?

Um, no... I'm not a nursing student. But I'd like to be! I was concerned because I never really considered myself to be good with biology. And I haven't really studied biology since grade 11. I'm just afraid that once I start taking my pre-requisites...

I'm not a nurse or anything, but I hope to be one! Scrubs is one of my favorite shows! And it just happens that Sacred Heart was the name of my elementary school! I found that to be quite a nice surprise / coincidence.

Hey Simplicity Girl, I don't think I can apply this year since I do not have the pre-requisite yet. I spoke to the advisor and she said that even if I do the pre-requisite during the summer, I won't be able to apply until the following school year. S...

Hey Smiles! Thanks for letting me know. Could you give me a little bit more detail about what the lab components consists of? Is it similar to high school biology labs where you're asked to dissect stuff? Did you take it in the summer/winter? Thanks,...

Hey Amber, I spoke to the nursing advisor, and she mentioned that the GPA will only be calculated on the last 30 credits. You should go see an advisor before applying as it will probably give you a better insight of how they calculate it... because I...

Hi Everyone, My name is Angel and I'm new to this forum. I'm currently a third year Computer Science major, Psychology minor at a university. I have been thinking about changing majors recently because I am absolutely sure I do not want to be working...

Did I ask too many questions? :imbar
