Hello everyone, After following this site for nearly a year and wanting to be a nurse for far longer, I've finally applied to somewhere! More specifically, I applied to the University of Calgary for their Degree Holder program that begins in January...

Hi angela, My email is [email protected]. If you have gmail too, we can gchat. FYI, I think my skype username is also glim06... I'm a creative person. haha Grace

angelhu, Is it possible to apply for the ANP straight out of a BSN? I'm currently at the university of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. I'll be done my degree Dec 2013 and I'd like to apply for Calstate for their nurse practitioner programs (not sure whic...

You're welcome. I applied and was accepted to the U of A as well. I did not accept the offer because it offers a "problem based learning" teaching style. From what I've read, it wasn't for me. Do check for yourself though.

Hi Mati I think the GPA to get in for Jan was around 3.3-3.4 minimum in your last 30 credits. The first part of the program has been a bit frustrating as it begins with community nursing instead of acute. I can't speak to acute yet as we're starting ...

TanFran, WOOT! BC girl. =D Yeah, I have very poor scam radar so I figured my best bet would be try and get a room on campus at least until I'm a bit more Calgary-savy. I am also not terribly cold tolerant but I figure with enough pairs of Long Johns ...

I am actually from Vancouver. I did my undergrad at UBC. I've never been to Calgary even so I hope you can tell me all about it! I am planning to fly over early January and move into res. Are you going to be staying on campus too or are you from Cal...

Hey guys! I'd like to join this thread and say I got accepted for Calgary 2012 too! Hello to you both! Grace

Yes I just heard back a couple days ago! I was accepted! Are you applying to live in campus or are you a Calgary native?

Hello Everyone, I recently found out I was accepted into the University of Alberta's After Degree Nursing program to begin in January 2012. I've read some older posts about their CBL learning and been a bit discouraged but was wondering if anyone ha...

@Petethecanuck Thanks! Turns out as of Tuesday I was accepted into Calgary after all. I'm pretty happy about this as I was uncertain about how I would fair in a CBL program although it sounsd like it could a very effective tool for some learning type...

Hey RNstudent2013, I suppose 3.85 is the average rather than the minimum but even then, that's quite the GPA. CONGRATS on getting in with competition like that. =D =D Good luck in September and with luck I'll be there soon too. Cheers, Grace

Hey Petethecanuck (I'm from Vancouver too btw =D), Thanks for your answers! So are you in the 20 month program? Must be crazy but it's great that you're almost finished! Do you remember if U of C looked at anything beyond your aGPA? Such as an essay,...

Wow! 3.85 is really getting up there. I wish I'd been around when there was a 3.0 gaurantee. I'm applying to the degree holder route that starts in Jan 2012. I've got a 3.2 aGPA when the admissions advisor expected the competitive average to be 3.4. ...

Hi, I'm wondering where you heard that U of C gaurantees acceptance at 3.0? Thanks. Grace

Hey there, I was wondering, where you heard that uCal guarantees acceptance for people with GPA of 3.0/4.0 or better? Also, the GPA you are referring to is for the last year (or 30 credits) of study, correct? Thanks!

Hello, I'm soon to graduate from UBC with a BSc. Since my undergraduate GPA is not very high, I was hoping to apply to some 4 year programs in Canada using my high school marks. Does anyone know of any institutions (e.g. universities, colleges, techn...

Which university did you apply to?

Thanks for the reply! Did you do upgrading for the pre-requisite courses only? Or just for the purpose of improving your GPA?
