Hello nightowl29, May ask how you financed your Canadian education? I mean, did you receive any kind of assistance? Did you live on campus or off campus? How did it work out? Thank you!

Thank you all for your incredibly helpful responses - I am encouraged! Right now it appears that community colleges in my area (offering 2-year ADN degrees) are averaging 200+ applications to 20 seats. Universities are better, but still very competitive. It's nice to know I have options. If you think of any other helpful information in terms of studying in Canada, feel free to drop a line! Any tips are appreciated. All the best to each of you.

Hi there, I'm a new allnurses user - from what I can see this platform has been a great resource to many people, so I'm hoping to get some great information, or insight as well. Are there any US students out there that have applied to Canadian nursing programs, such as University of British Columbia, that have been accepted and graduated from the program, or are currently in the program? As I prepare to submit applications in the Washington State area, I've considered applying to UBC, just to keep my options open. If you have any information on this particular kind of experience, I'd love to hear about: Were you accepted the first time around? What are the possibilities of returning to the US to work as a nurse? What are the possibilities of practicing in Canada? How did you handle tuition and living expenses as an international student (the fees are quite steep for int'l students). What is your take on the quality of education that you are receiving or received? Have you been satisfied with your decision? A lot of questions I know! But I hope to take my background and match it with the school that is best for me. Any information would be awesome. Thank you!
