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

    hello123 replied to Hamster84's topic in International Nursing

    Hello jasn, I think you need to understand what dumping the Employed Student Nurse program means - the reasons I give above are extremely valid - they have nothing to do with the educational quality...

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

    hello123 replied to Hamster84's topic in International Nursing

    I would have to respectfully disagree with the above poster's comments. Langara and UBC have the most placements at Children's Hospital, and also they have kept their ESN (Employed Student Nurse)...

  3. Is nursing your second career?

    hello123 replied to nicubee's topic in Nursing Career

    Hello! I am in my 30's and studied my first degree in systems engineering (computer/electrical). I absolutely hated engineering school but didn't know what else to do at the time, and since I was on...

  4. BCIT Aug 2010/ Jan 2011

    hello123 replied to jeffy604's topic in Canada

    BCIT is indeed competitive to get in, but take note that they have shrunken their degree to a 3-year format and have disallowed students to become ESN's during the program. Instead they have replaced...

  5. Is BC really that bad in terms of RN jobs?

    hello123 replied to Teebee5's topic in International Nursing

    I would say YES, BC in the lower mainland is pretty crappy in terms of nursing jobs right now. I was told that a certain large teaching hospital that traditionally hired lots of new graduates is in an...

  6. Waiting list for BCIT, Langara, and Kwantlen nursing?

    hello123 replied to green_tea's topic in International Nursing

    The differences between these programs is the placements you'll be getting, if you care about that as opposed to waiting lists. Langara - has placements at BC Children's Hospital, BC Women's, as well...

  7. Prestige or practicality?

    hello123 replied to Canuckgirl's topic in International Nursing

    Fraser Health might not care where you went to school, but Vancouver Coastal Health seems like they would take a closer look. Many of the nursing instructors at UBC are affiliated with VCH. BCIT is...

  8. Opinions: Best scrubs?

    hello123 replied to raebabelvn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The best scrubs are: 1. MOBB scrubs - affordable, good value, & stylish! great colors! 2. Grey's Anatomy - if you want to spend a little more money, these are very soft and comfortable, but they...

  9. MRSA, Is this true?

    hello123 replied to cute2's topic in General Nursing

    I got the impression that many germs invade through the nose (including MRSA), so would physically rinsing your nasal passages with normal saline on a regular basis (like once or twice a week) help to...

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

    hello123 replied to Hamster84's topic in International Nursing

    I think that in choosing between UBC and BCIT, it's not so much what the programs themselves are like, but it's more about the affiliations and the connections that the programs have with each...
