There are a few places within an hour of crossing the border. Classic health apparel and uniform destination are two that I went to. You might have to make 2 trips as some sizes/colours need to be ordered in. You'll get brand name scribs (greys anato...

Get your stethoscope beforehand from regency medical supplies (Canada Way & Willingdon) beforehand if you have a student card. It is much cheaper than the scrub sale prices. There are lots of cool colors you can order in as well. Most people in ...

Jeez Louise XD I dont remember there being so much confusion about these references last April. If anyone was wondering, my employer/volunteer person didn't write any additional info. So don't feel you need to request an encyclopedia from them.

First Sim Lab.

It's good to see everyone is so keen here, but try not to stress yourselves too much. When I applied I handed ALL my things on the last day, and in the end I got messages and stuff faster than everyone else (weeks ahead even..).. So just relax! )

I think it's just the form, and if they want to add more they are welcome to write on the back. My referees only wrote a sentence each so I guess it's not mandatory.

Hey! I took PSYC 1101 online and PSYC 1102 in class. They were both different ways of learning. The online class was more based on the notes and had more assignments (35% of grade) that were more time consuming. The tests were also harder (harder in ...

Thanks smiley65 and co. for the awesome experiences. It was awesome until the student questions came. Then I almost fell asleep. Not your fault though. Ha ha, no one put up their hand to using this forum except me.

I was freaking out about this immunization thing today so I decided to get off my behind and do it. I just typed "Burnaby Public Health Unit" in Google and there seems to be different locations depending on where you live in the Lower Mainland. Sinc...

Condale! Why have you stopped updating your blog? I enjoyed reading it.

My wait is over.. Thanks BCIT =)

hey smiley65! just a random question if you aren't too busy. on the nursing boards at school there are regulations on -watches -shoes -stethoscopes (any recommended one, like is the double sided mandatory?) -scrubs after you got in did you find out...

It is optional. I had to because I failed 2 semesters years ago. It also seems like they are getting somewhere. On MyBCIT they updated that they received my references.

Wow they freaked me out today. I was on my computer and my MSN messenger had a popup that informed me BCIT nursing sent me an email. The contents of the email said "thanks" Probably in response to my letter of intent submission.. ARDHDADJADJGAD!!11! ...

Awww.. I'm sorry to hear that.. If you haven't done so finish all the required electives before hand. If you still need to complete at least 5 courses (ENG, LIBS, PSYC) then technically you arent wasting that much time (only half a year). In return ...

I just got a rejection from UBC. They said I was amongst the bottom 25% for supplemental stuff. If I didnt have my mind set on BCIT I would be super choked :3.

Rejected!.. Oh well, I guess my top choice is still alive. Good Luck to the rest of you =)

Hey vana_! Stay positive! Until you see 2 or 3 crazy people yelling "OMGZ I got shortlisted!!111", just believe you're still awesome and in the running. Waiting is still hard though. The longer I wait the more I second guess myself. The UBC thread h...

Short listed people have "pending department review" as well. Hope that saves you some time :).

If it helps your conscience. I read mine. If they didn't want us to read them, then they probably would've did what UBC does. Which is get the person to seal the envelope and sign the flap. Also, the contact info is also on the bottom so if they smel...

I will fuel my wait with a snack Thank you

Haha. This thread is turning hateful, but their points are valid. I personally wouldn't mind getting rejected because someone took an interview spot and didn't intend to get into the program. It just means I need to find ways to improve myself. Like ...

Hang in there = ) ! I know people who haven't got letters either. And ConGratz yohane!

Hey yohane! Don't worry about plan B too much, it may actually come naturally and you may enjoy it more than Bursing. Nursing was actually my Plan b, but then I realised the job market for selling Plan b's (and other medications) is not so good at th...

Wow.. you guys still haven't heard yet? You would think a week would be enough for them to send out the rest :3. Good luck to all of you that are still waiting! I'm still waiting for a response from UBC..
