Upper years will be selling their books to you guys either the friday of your orientation (before class starts) or the during the first week of your orientation. Of course you will have readings on your first day so if you really feel the need to do ...

you will never have to work a stat holiday while you are in school. You guys have a lab on the 7th and you have the 10th off of school. I believe your scheduled should be posted on the nursing website now.

I'm not sure 100% about that but I don't pay anything monthly to MSP. I think it is part of your fees at the beginning. I don't know anyone that pays anything monthly for insurance in the program. Unless it is for the student health services because ...

ubc2011, you will know usually a month in advance where your placement is going to be and if it will be 8 hour or 12 hour shifts. That being said.... I think your first one you guys have might be a little less notice because there is 120 of you to p...

I will be selling my BP cuff for $15 at the book consignment, I'm sure others will do the same as you only need it for the first semester (Sept-Dec) and then you never really use it again.

Hey guys, I received your schedule (as I am making your agenda) and you need your scrubs for September 27th as you have your 2 shadow days around that time. Also, as for text books... WAIT to buy them until you are in school. I know you all are so ex...

Just a little FYI for those of your ordering scrubs. You need them by mid-october. The tops fit like any top you would buy so if you are a small then a small or x-small will be just fine. The bottoms however are a little tricky as they have NO GIVE i...

Congrats to all of you that got in. As for some of your CPR comments, there was a lot of confusion during our year about if you needed your level C or your HCP CPR (health care practitioner). I'm not sure what they have decided this year BUT the nurs...

I have to say I didn't prepare much for the interview process... it is kind of hard to do so. I just kinda looked into what MMI interviews are like and googled for some sample questions. Most of what I found were med school questions so not totally a...

hey guys, best of luck to all of you... I am currently half way through the first year at UBC nursing and the interview is not that bad at all. Everyone is super nice and they make you feel very comfortable. I found out I was accepted 1-2 weeks after...

thanks for the info everyone! I guess I will just sit tight and wait for my package to arrive!

I would call or email and ask if you still haven't heard anything. We do have to respond by the 15th but in my interview they said that they would let everyone know right around the same time if they got in or not and then offer those that they origi...

i just sent mine in to the school of nursing address that was posted at the bottom of the letter.

great idea... I live in Ottawa so unfortunately I won't be around until Aug. but if anyone wants to get together then, I would love to meet a few people before classes start in Sept.

I had almost a year of paid hospital experience, but I know there were lots of people that did not have hospital experience at my interview. Like cinnamonlatte wrote in the last post, none of the questions are that specific. They are very general so ...

Hey everyone, I also received an e-mail yesterday (May 11th) saying I was accepted and my interview was on the first day at 10:30am. For those that did not get accepted, he explained in my interview slot that there is no "official" wait list ...

nothing yet.... I was Monday morning at 10:30... but met some people at the 9:20 one cause I came super early haha. I JUST WANT TO KNOW!

I'm also waiting. Did they give anyone a better idea of when we should know by? I know they told our group hopefully by the end of this week or next but does that mean they will let you know if you get it or not or just that they will send out the fi...

Yeah I heard that as well. That if you made it to the interview round, it was only based on your interview mark from now on... unless of course there is like a "tie" where they would go back and look at your supplemental and GPA mark to determine who...

everyone dressed somewhere between casual and formal at my interview, whatever you feel most comfortable it really.

Interview went really well. The interviewers are super nice. I'm sure you will all do great! They give you a little run down of what to expect before you go and have to start answering questions. You can ask a bunch of questions before you begin duri...

Yeah most people I spoke with said you can't really prep. The question I think are more to see what your ethics are and if you can think quick on your feet. So I think you just need to know yourself and what your views are on general ethical situatio...

Thanks cheeseburger. Did you ask them how many interview spots they gave out? I hope it goes well!

has anyone heard anything yet for the September 2010 intake? I know they said June, but I was wondering if anyone had more information. How many people are being accepted? How many applied? Thanks!

Hey all, I have applied for the UBC nursing program. I received an email on March 29th inviting me to an interview on the 26th at 10:30am. My last name starts with a B. I know we had to respond by the 6th so if people declined or did not resp...
