Hi SaraUFVsn, please check the UBC nursing school website to correct your information. I am only in my 6th week of school and next week, we are going to be in clinical 3 days a week We have the same amount of clinical hours as BCIT. However, our progrm is only 20 months long because: the course load/classes/clinical are a minimum of 9-5, 5 days a week. Students are expected to have done the work/readings before going to the lectures. Students who have been accepted to the program have previous degrees and even work experience - some of my colleagues are paramedics, researchers to name a few. In addition to the practical side of nursing, we are required to take leadership skills, research skills etc to prepare us for higher level nursing.

Hi, does anyone know when we will get the current list of textbooks we need for 2010? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I just received an e-mail this morning too, saying I was accepted! My interview was on Friday afternoon... I hope to meet you all at the orientation. This is all so exciting.

Hello Everyone, I would just like to thank everyone who posted such positive and encouraging comments during all this time of waiting for a reply from UBC... I just received an e-mail from UBC inviting me for an interview! For those, still waiting, keep your positive thoughts, it's still not over.

Hi tareija, I just sent you a pm... asking some questions...check your mailbox when you have the time. thanks, bcgirl

hi Green Tea, I was wondering what makes you think all the invitations have been sent out? Still hoping....

Hi All, It is now Thursday afternoon...I don't think I will get any notice from UBC by the end of today since it will be the start of the long weekend. Thanks for everyone's positve thoughts! I will now concentrate on my studies this weekend and enjoy hiding Easter eggs around our house for my kids to find on Sunday. I won't expect to hear anything until Tuesday- at the earliest... Happy Easter Everyone.

Hi Colleen, Thanks for your encouragement! I will concentrate on my studies this weekend and enjoy hiding Easter eggs around our house for my kids to find on Sunday. I won't expect to hear anything until Tuesday- at the earliest... Happy Easter Everyone.

hi tareija, I am actually enjoying the human a/p course. it's all the memorizing that takes so much time for me. I just have 4 chapters to go, but it feels so slow because of the waiting!! I think many of us feel our lives are on hold and we have to make choices at the last minute depending on what our outcomes are after the interview....I find this a bit frustatring, I am keeping optimistic that in the end everything will work out. bye for now, I have to pick up my kids from school...I will check my email constantly until I get a response from UBC. In the meanwhile, everyone out there waiting - think positive!!:)

Hi Tareija, I am also taking my Human A/P through Athabasca....I hope to write the 4th and final exam end of April/or 1st week of May. I tried to register at UBC, but the waitlist was so long so the UBC advisor suggested Athabasca. I know exactly how you feel about waiting. I hope we all find out before the Easter Break...then I will know if I should continue my studies at racing speed ( if I get an interview) or slow down and relax a bit Good luck to everyone!

Hi aintreallynotreally, my last name starts with M - what's yours? I am also hoping that they are notifying people in alphabetical order. I also checked my account with UBC's student services centre....just a few days ago, the comments in my file said that they are waiting for my final transcripts ( I am currently taking the Human A/P course)....this morning, I checked that the comment changed - it said that my supplemental is currently under review...so things are definitely moving. halfabloc- thanks for letting everyone know....you are the second person to write in this allnurses saying they received a confirmation for an interview.:)

Congratulations Colleen! Thanks for letting me know. I will post my update when I get word. Good luck on your interview!! 39bcgirl

Hi, anyone as anxious as me waiting for a reply from UBC School of Nursing? I can't concentrate on my last few chapters of Human Anatomy and Physiology course! Hopefully they let us know in the next few days..so exciting and scary at the same time playing this waiting game.

Hi, I am also anxiously waiting for a reply from UBC! Please let me know if you get any news from them....I will also post a reply as soon as I hear from them..... good luck!

Hi Green Tea, Last time I check, UBC school of Nursing website mentioned that the interview this year will be held from April 26-30....I think they had to change the dates from previous years due to the Olympics. how many advance days/weeks did they give the selected candidates notice from the interview date? Also, you mentioned, grade/summary report. What is that? Is that the marks they give your supplemental? Thanks for your feedback.
