I was recently hired as an ESN for VCH and I start in August. As an ESN I am responsible and accountable for my own practice. As stated above hospitals have different policies regarding what ESNs are allowed to do. In addition, I wouldn't be able to ...

Canadian Student Nurse here so my perspective is quite different and completely un-jaded. If I ever become cynical about nursing I'll know it's time to leave. Firstly, I was also working in an office setting about University trying to figure out what...

Regarding the program, there are a wide-range of backgrounds (Pol Sci and English to BioChem, Business, Health Science etc) and GPA ranged as well. I know someone who got in with a 75% average and others with averages in the 90s. Work/volunteer/life ...

If anyone has questions about the program/application process feel free to ask! (though I think the 2013 UBC thread covers it pretty well). I started the program in September.

I am currently enrolled in UBC's accelerated RN-BSN program. The program is 20 months - 5 consecutive terms with only August off. I would say about 60-70% of my classmates have a bachelor's degree; you need at least 48 post-secondary credits to apply...

I spoke with someone who was number 7 on the waitlist and was just offered a seat :)

Bumping the Facebook Group. Please join if you have been accepted or waitlisted! Search on Facebook. Cheers :)

I was offered a seat and my online status has not changed. The email states: "Access to SSC to accept/decline the admission offer will be available within 10 days from the receipt of this email." I received the email on April 25th so I'm assuming ...

An admin deleted it - apparently posting a link goes against the terms of agreement. I have PM'd you the link! I still don't understand why the group isn't searchable

Maybe there needs to be more members until it shows up. Anyhow glad it works!

Link should work. Try that! I don't know why Facebook is being difficult.

Oh weird. I've opened it - does it work now?

I have created the Facebook group. It's not very fancy (if someone wants to be an admin and work on it that'd be great. I Facebook suck). It's closed to keep details private :) Search for UBC Nursing 2013-2015 Cohort

Are people interested in a Facebook group for the 2013-2015 cohort? I'm thinking about making one and then we can chat fun stuff like orientation, scrubs, and immunizations there

We will have to plan a meet-up after orientation on the Wednesday. Maybe go to Koerner's pub and get acquainted And also start a facebook group. So many things to do!

I got mine 10 minutes ago. It's from the same account as the person who sent us our invitations so it might take a bit.

Got an offer as well :) I cannot wait to meet my fellow classmates in August. It has been such a journey thus far. The next 2 years are going to be wild!!

I've been creeping previous threads and some cohorts found out about a week after interviews ended but last year it took 2 weeks. The Associate Director said the person sending out the acceptance/rejection letters is going on vacation so hopefully it...

I feel the EXACT same way. Hopefully we are just being too hard on ourselves! I keep on replaying it in my mind and think of better things I could have said or added. But everything is easier in retrospect.

Did anyone who interviewed find out when UBC will send out offers? After my interview I am not feeling too confident so having a projected end date would be awesome :)

I felt it went okay - when I went in, I wasn't nervous and was fairly excited to answer the questions. However, a couple of the interviewers were completely neutral - they didn't nod or say anything and now I am second guessing myself. I did end up t...

Thank you Hyoon. Sounds like you had a good experience which is awesome! Good luck to all!! I'm sure everyone will rock it :)

After examining previous threads regarding the MMI and reading up on the MMI, it doesn't seem like there is a lot that one can prep for. Most sample MMI questions are geared towards Doctors/Dentists and will be different. I am reading up on the CRNBC...

Less than a week until interviews start! I am getting so very excited Good luck to everyone prepping!

I didn't see it anywhere so you might want to email the person who sent you the invitation and see if she can let you know where you stood. Also congrats on the invite!
