  1. UBC Nursing 2010-2011

    springsheen replied to 39bcgirl's topic in Canada

    For the 2010-2011 class, are they still getting the scrubs (and suggested equipment) from Aloft? Last year, many of the students had problems with some of the equipments (e.g. blood pressure cuffs...

  2. UBC Nursing

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    I can tell you, with personal experience, that having a "W" on your transcript will not affect your chances of admission... at least it did not for me. And to answer an earlier question in the thread,...

  3. What is the best way to get accepted into BCIT Fall 2010 nursing?

    springsheen replied to mva2's topic in International Nursing

    Hey mva2, For BCIT, I've heard commonly that the more post-secondary credits you have accomplished, the more likely you are to get in. It does not have as much to do with the major you've studied in...

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    Lol, no problem. I still have a faint dark spot where the welt used to be. I don't know, hopefully I'm just weird... haha. P.S. Does anyone know if we'll get free flu vaccines? I heard people...

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    Well, the nurse who administered it said I might have a stronger reaction because I had the BCG vaccine before (can also give false positives). So unless you've had it too, it should go away within a...

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    Hey lazz1, I was not asked to pay the $150 when I went in for my immunization review... and I have no idea when we have to pay it. The immunization review goes by fairly quickly, especially if your...

    What!? So the Elsevier package isn't even in stores yet? I was going to go all the way out to UBC to buy them on Tuesday! Aw man... thanks for the update though! UBC Bookstore,

  8. UBC Nursing

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    Hey lazz1, I found the first term schedule on http://www.nursing.ubc.ca/Current_Students/Documents/Sep2009/Term%201%20-%20Sept%202009.pdf It shows clinicals starting on October 26, and it's got whole...

  9. UBC's 2 yr Program or BCIT's 3 yr Program

    springsheen replied to Hamster84's topic in International Nursing

    Marina_stdnt, I'm not sure how UofT counts their credits, but at UBC: A standard lecture course lasting 1 semester, either Sept-Dec or Jan-Apr) = 3 credits/course Normal Winter session course load...

  10. UBC's 2 yr Program or BCIT's 3 yr Program

    springsheen replied to Hamster84's topic in International Nursing

    Hi Marina_stdnt, Fortunately, your first and second year courses' GPA will not be counted, provided that you have finished 30 credits since then (which, I will assume, you do considering you're...

  11. UBC Nursing

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    Hey guys, I just bought a pair of shoes today at the Shoe Company. The brand is Merrell, and it's got great arch support, antimicrobial linings, anti-slip soles, all leather, and it's pretty darn...

  12. Where can I buy a Littman ClassicII in Edmonton

    springsheen replied to EdmontonAB's topic in International Nursing

    If you don't mind buying online, you can find it at http://www.canadianmedstudents.com/store/ and they sell it for $74.00 (plus shipping; free shipping over $150, like the Cardiology III that goes for...

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    It was in the e-mail that accompanied the Orientation Week schedule. They asked us to provide some information for the Nursing Bluebook, and, I suppose it doesn't say specifically that it'll be...

  14. UBC Nursing

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    Did everyone have a chance to read through the Orientation Week schedule? I'm feeling even more excited & anxious than before... and pretty bummed that I'll be missing the first day. Seems like...

  15. UBC Nursing

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    Hey Orchid1218, Below is a link to the GPA Conversion chart that is used for all universities in Canada; you will see that UBC is under Column #3. On the right hand side, there are a few columns of...

  16. UBC Undergraduate nursing program 2008/2009

    springsheen replied to kendall16's topic in Canada

    Sure, why not! :) If you start one now, I'll get in on it pretty quickly, lol. I know for Orientation Week, they're planning to have lots of "Hi, my name is..." sessions to get us to know all 89 of...

  17. UBC Undergraduate nursing program 2008/2009

    springsheen replied to kendall16's topic in Canada

    That's a great idea! I've been waiting for someone to start a "UBC Nursing 2011" group, heh. One thing, I've noticed most of the UBC Nursing groups on Facebook have a "Request to Join" restriction,...

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    Hi Orchid1218, I'm not sure how many changes you can make to UBC Nursing's list of equivalent Biology courses. To be sure, I'd suggest that you contact [email protected]. And yes, I believe...

  19. UBC Undergraduate nursing program 2008/2009

    springsheen replied to kendall16's topic in Canada

    Thanks for the tip! Also, my friend has used the site http://www.canadianmedstudents.com/store/index.php?cPath=56 before, and their Littmann stethoscopes are much cheaper (free shipping on orders...

  20. UBC Undergraduate nursing program 2008/2009

    springsheen replied to kendall16's topic in Canada

    Aw man... although I guess I could wait a bit longer to part ways with my textbook fund. Judging by the length of the textbook list, it's going to be quite an expensive investment right there. Also,...

  21. UBC's 2 yr Program or BCIT's 3 yr Program

    springsheen replied to Hamster84's topic in International Nursing

    Ditto. I went to both the UBC & BCIT info/orientation sessions, and I got the impression that they were equally spread out. If applicants were hoping that UBC Nursing would only take place at...

  22. I had a TB test this morning

    springsheen replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

    I had a TB test last Tuesday, and a nurse told me I was negative for it on Thursday. However, it's been about a week and the redness is still there, and the area of injection is still slightly raised...

  23. Stethescope & Blood Pressure Monitor

    springsheen replied to maija's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm wondering about this too. My school has told us that we can buy the Cardiology III stethoscopes for about $75CDN from a certain company, but should I get a Littmann anyway? I've heard that...

  24. UBC Undergraduate nursing program 2008/2009

    springsheen replied to kendall16's topic in Canada

    Hey Sarah_604, I got that e-mail too. I've used a similar e-Text before for the Biochemistry 302/303 textbook, and it was so handy. For my BIOC 303 text, it came as a PDF file, and I can use the...

    springsheen replied to MPKH's topic in Canada

    Orca, Thanks for the tips on those SAS shoes! I'll definitely check those out. As for the uniforms, I was going to order the XXS for both top and bottom too. How tight were those XXS bottoms? (I...
