RachelP_CRNA2B, thanks for your reply! What does gtts stand for?

jamst149, here they don't usually hire new graduates onto high acuity ward until you have at least 1-2 years of experience minimum on a typical med/surg ward. Its just too overwhelming for new graduates I guess

Hi! I am a senior nursing student in Canada who needs to submit my preferences for my final preceptorship term. I am hoping to work as an ICU nurse in the future but I am unsure what type of ward would provide me with a good basis. I was thinking about cardiac medicine or surgery? What are some other high acuity type wards? I will also be doing my high acuity/critical care specialty heory courses before my preceptorship begins. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey chiseen, I too also did the shortlist questionnaire for last Aug 2014 intake. I didn't realize that I didn't need to do it again so I'm quite glad about that, haha. But yeah, I got conditional acceptance too! I will be also finishing my BSc degree this December too. Can't wait to meet everyone and start the program! I'm already shopping online for a stethoscope haha. And congrats to everyone else who got acceptance and shortlist!

Hey jmcl and lauray, I noticed this too... They got rid of things like "reasons for selecting this program" and "personal strengths" sections. Also got rid of things like extracurriculars and hobbies... This definitely gave me a slight panic attack but I guess that's how it is now. Less for them to read for all the applications? :/

Congrats to everyone who got accepted! I was accepted like a month ago except I'm deciding to give up my seat and re-apply for the next intake because something came up. I hope you see you guys around though! :)

@Cesh, I have J**** D***** for the course instructor :)

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you guys know that I tried to see if they would accept a course I took previously that was very similiar to LIBS 7001 however they didn't accept it. They said most people end up having to take LIBS 7001. Rarely ever do they accept any equivalents. I am also taking LIBS 7001 online this summer and haven't started anything, haha! It's good to know others here are taking it too in case we have questions! :)

Hey Cesh, what was the books that you bought for LIBS 7001? On the BCIT website, it says we need to get the course reader but apparently there's another book called Strategies for Critical Writing?

Hey everyone! Congrats to everyone who got accepted and shortlisted! I just came back from my vacation and found out I got accepted too! :)

Yeah, LIBS 7021 is only for nursing students so I was planning to take it in the summer when I'm done my first year of nursing :) I didn't want to take both LIBS 7001 and 7002 just yet because it's a huge investment since the courses are so expensive and I don't know if I will officially be accepted or not! I also just submitted my online questionnaire and it wasn't too bad. I know you had to make each question under 250 words so that was the part that I wasted the most time trying to narrow it down...

(Not sure what the [COLOR] and stuff happened...) :S

Hey @LiquoriceTea, I'm taking LIBS 7001 online too! I'm scared about how much work it will be for an online course. Usually they make you do more work than the in-class one. I wanted to take LIBS 7002 online too but I was wanting to take the health ethics (LIBS 7021) equivalent instead because it seems like it would be more relateable for nursing.

Oh wow, lots of posting here since I last checked! I think I'm going to attempt doing the questionnaire this weekend. Or tomorrow. @lnguyen, yes - what was the questionnaire like if I may ask? They said to go study up on those links from the CRNBC but I'm not sure how much of it are we supposed to know? I'm assuming we have to integrate some of the information on the CRNBC website with our questions?

I just submitted my application last night! Can't wait! Good luck to everyone too! :)
