Could I just ask which chemistry course is so difficult? I'm applying to an accelerated nursing program next year. I am almost finished A%P with Athabasca University, a distance course and what I think is WONDERFUL is that you can go through the course at your own pace and get a good grade. I've heard that you can't take Pharacology online unless you are registered in the program, but they can't stop my from buying the textbook and studying it by myself before I even get into the program. So the question is, are talking about "General Chemistry" or "Biochemistry"? Please inform! I want to study! If you don't mind, could you tell me what the name, or better yet, the ISBN of the chem textbooks is? [email protected]

I don't know if this helps you or not, but this website, and the discussion forum, has A LOT of information for Canadian who want to work in the US, that is information on the legal aspects of it, getting the proper VISA, etc. http://www.grasmick.com/

Well, I actually do like working with people. I'm a nice guy, really. I work overseas in South Korea as a university lecturer. However, what I like most is teaching kids in the 10 to 13 year old range. I could do a one year program, get my teacher's license and be a high school French teacher. There is a market for French teachers. However, I have a different view on education than I did when I was a university student, see http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/ . I don't want to be a part of public education and will home school my own kids anyway. I'm no stranger to hard work, having grown up in a small town in northen BC. Also, I want what everyone wants, a home, car etc. I want to have some stability in terms of having a job. I think nursing offers that. I'm thinking of eventually working up in Alaska or the Yukon if I actually get accepted in nursing school. I love the north. Nursing would a career that would let me work with people while still providing good job stability in small towns. I'd like to be able to live in places where I would like to live, not live in places where I can find work.

Hello All, I am a 32 year old male, who is really interested in UBC's post Bachelor degree. It's a program that gives you a B.Sc. in nursing for people who have already completed a degree of some kind. The one prerequisite is BIOL235, Human Anatomy and Physiology, which I have almost completed with Athabasca University. It looks like I will get a B+ in the course. I am also going to takes Statistics and Nutrion before applying next year, to hopefully begin in Sept. 2006. Their website says they get about 350 applicants but only accept 50 to 60. I am just wondering, what kind of poeple get accepted to the program. I imagine that there is a certain number of applicants who are not even considered seriously, some who are, and some who are excellent candidates. My undergraduate degree is in French as a second language (not related). But I will have the courses mentioned above before starting the program if I am accepted. Don't tell me what you think I want to hear. Realiitically, how do you think I stand in terms of getting accepted? I did ask and they say they give no preference to male applicants (a bit unfair if you ask me, since most universities quite encourage females to apply to engineering programs, etc.) Any info on this or any other 2 programs leading to a B.Sc. in Canada would be ENOURMOUSLY appreciated. !
