Alka_Selse BSc

Hello! I'm starting this topic for two reasons: one, to introduce myself and make connections with anyone else that has also applied for the fall 2012 intake at the University of the Fraser Valley nursing program; and two, to make a few inquiries. So...

Haha, invictus. >.> a few times.

Me too! Yay! ^_^

Nope, not yet. If they were sent out yesterday/today, then I don't expect that we'll get them this Thursday/Friday.

Blargh. Still no mail! I'm starting to get anxious, hehe. On the plus side, my application online now says "Accepted Conditionally", so hopefully that means I'm in! Congrats to the rest of you too! I was pretty sure we'd all get in Yay! I can't wait...

Yay! Down to the last week, finally! I vaguely remember being told the fourth of May as well, so I won't be too anxious unless I don't receive a yay/nay by Friday. *fingers crossed* I'll be checking every day though, starting today when I get home fr...

The interview went really well. I was super nervous though - I've been doing a lot of job hunting the last 3 months (it's stupid hard to find a job at the moment; that or I have incredible bad luck), and this was one of the only ones I actually wante...

o.o Thanks guys. I'm so nervous. And excited. But mostly nervous, lol. My mom actually just transfered from St. Paul's to ARH. It'd be neat to work in the same hospital. :)

I have an interview on Tuesday for a porter position at ARH!! Finally, the opportunity for a job within my field. :3 So excited. So nervous. 10x more nervous than I was for the nursing interview, lol.

You need either your (1) standard first aid CPR level C with AED training, or (2) Standard CPR C HCE (i think that's right? health care employee). I did the first, the second takes a bit longer and you cover a little bit more, but the first option co...

pet_lover - There's not really an advantage in terms of getting accepted or not by putting your app in early. It does, however, give you more time to have it completed, get all the loose ends tied, etc. As for taking the courses - It's a huge help. F...

The references are from your health care related volunteer or work experience, yes. I myself submitted two references because I worked a couple shifts in CCU and a couple shifts in Hemo and had to go through the application process for observation sh...

That's right, pet_lover. We were only told that the volunteer is out of 6. We managed to break it down a little bit when we were shown our specific points, but they never officially let us know. So all I know is that volunteer is out of 2, but like y...

Heh, you would have been in grade 8 the year I graduated (2006), so I think the age gap is just a bit too much for me to know any of your friends, or vice versa. We might know siblings, though. That'd be interesting. I'll have to toss some of my year...

*facedesk* I accidentally hit 'leave a comment' instead of 'post' and it deleted it all... Starting over! Pet_lover, welcome to the forums, and thanks for posting. It's always nice to know that we're helping out fellow applicants, even if you're not ...

I'm getting that feeling, too, invictus, and it's making me nervous! But I'm still hoping that we're all just the exception to the norm and that as a group we'll kick the butts of every other applicant. I'm thinking...study group!

invictus - they told us at the information session that UFV had ~180 applications this year, and that about 100 would be, or were invited for interviews. The 100 for interviews was confirmed by my interviewer, too. :) But I agree, it doesn't seem lik...

jshadows - Welcome to the forums! And wow, sounds like you have nothing to worry about *jealous* I have to get my post-sec courses sorted out. Hardly any of my courses from UVic/UofC transfered over directly and I have to send in like 20 detailed cou...

^_^ I live in Abby, too. Hahaha, it took me around 45 minutes to get to the interview, and I'm right on Sumas Mt., so close to the freeway. I did, however, accidentally take a wrong exit since I'd never really driven through chilliwack before, and go...

Keep in mind that only 100 or so got interviewed, so about one of every 2 interviewed will be accepted. Barring everything, at least we all have a 50% chance to get accepted!

Oh, and I tried to look at what my status says - I'm sure it says the same as you three - but it seemed myUFV was down today. But invictus, don't stress, lol. I imagine it'll stay the same until acceptances go out. Just concentrate on your upcoming i...

Congrats camp11 on your successful interview! And double grats on the good points, wow. o.o camp and mission, I really hope that the average applicants are not like you two, otherwise I really can't get my hopes up. But hopefully *fingers crossed* we...

I try to sit at the front slightly to the left. I use a voice recorder to free me up to listen actively and so I don't have to take notes during lecture. That being said, if the professor is on a raised platform, sometimes I'll sit a few rows back to...

XD OOOoh man, I had a good laugh at a lot of these. I'm going to be a nursing student starting this fall, so this has really helped the anxiety levels. I just know I'll be adding my own silly moments on here when they come around. Many props to the O...

Oh my goodness, I'm so jealous that you guys are already getting your acceptances. Those of us who've applied for UFV in BC have just finished the bouts of information sessions and are beginning the nail biting interviews. I just had mine this aftern...
