2. Is is worth applying for Fall 2013 now?

   jasn replied to Just A Wanderer's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

   If you can apply for Jan 14, does that not mean that Fall 13 intake is closed? I think by mid february, most programs have already accepted their applications for the upcoming fall semester. My advice...

   Hi BulmaBriefs - I appreciate your response. I know it is frustrating, as I was once there too. I believe I found out October 31 (several years ago - so the system hasn't changed much). BUT, I hope...

   jasn replied to Chhun3's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

   @Progressor - I think that's taking it a bit far. You knew from the getgo when you applied, what the deadlines for applications were. Did you really think that they were going to sort through 300-600...

   Jan intakes actually have 3 summers, August intakes 2 to complete those extra courses. That "extended" term of 30 weeks is no big deal - depending on your intake, you have 2-3 online courses (and they...

   The best advice I can give you is to relax! Enjoy your summer! Do your Jarvis pre-readings, but other than that, enjoy the break that you have, because you are in for a busy 3 years. I am graduating...

10. BCIT, Langara and Kwantlen?

    jasn replied to tigersharkie's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    All three have excellent nursing programs. BCIT looks for a minimum of 60 postsecondary credits (due to high number of applications creating competition). I think Langara and Kwantlen accept students...

    If you don't have all of your records, you can go to your doctor / a walk-in clinic and they will order blood tests to see what you are immune to. Have them fill out the form with the results. They...

    hi guys - is your prereading from the Jarvis assessment book? (not sure if they have added prereading for other courses since I was in level one). If so, that prereading is for your assessment course,...
