   AgathaKitty replied to skittles12's topic in CA Programs

   Hi db123, Thanks for the questions! I will try to answer them since the application process at UBC is still fresh in my mind: "Does anyone know of any scholarships that are available to nursing students? Most of the UBC scholarships I have found onl...

   Yup, they're sending them now. I just got my acceptance email as well! Wishing everyone here gets good news this week....

   AgathaKitty replied to skittles12's topic in CA Programs

   Congrats on completing the interview! I'm sure you all did great. Everyone I met there seemed super nice, smart, and really top-notch. Everyone seemed really perfect, but in a cool way, if you know what I mean. Luckily for me I barely remember my ans...

   To those still waiting: there may be still hope. I was waiting for my rejection but to my surprise today I was actually contacted for an interview to be held on April 11. I was stunned, because I didn't think I had a chance. They gave me a deadline t...

   I'm guessing they are done with the initial emails. We likely won't hear anything until those selected for interviews decline it for some reason, and new openings come up. Sad to say.

   The out-of-province is definitely a good theory, and it seems like it judging from the offers people have got so far. The interviews are earlier than last year (which started around April 15th I think), so travel arrangements will have to be made, an...

   Congrats to those that have gotten interviews so far! Good luck to the rest of us that are still waiting. Sigh, I've been checking my email every few minutes, ha ha. But judging from last year's UBC thread, it can take them a while to get to all of u...

   Hi @amychow0, I was just browsing last year's UBC thread and it looks like interview dates were mid April, from the 15th to 19th. I imagine it will be around the same dates this year. People started getting invites around March 20-something.

9. About That Avatar...

   AgathaKitty replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for this. This is a great reminder! I've also been inspired to change my avatar from the generic kitty one. Being new to AN, I struggle with being too careful about information I share and wanting to reveal myself more. For example, I struggle...

10. Does nursing really suck that badly?

    AgathaKitty replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Professionalism

    As a pre-nursing student just starting to apply to nursing school, I would like to say thanks to all those who have given their thoughts and opinions about the realities of nursing. All of the posts have been enlightening and worthwhile. It may sound...

    It's great to hear that people are submitting or are working on their supplementals! I just submitted mine today - after reading and rereading my answers, and it's good to have that done. Re: job description - yes, I put short description of my dutie...

    Hi futurenursecanada - here is UBC's GPA page: http://students.arts.ubc.ca/advising/academic-performance/gpa-equivalency UBC uses percentages instead of GPA - word is that last year's average was 78%, but that just means there are still some studen...

    Thanks for the info and support veggie_girl! Some questions, if you don't mind my asking.... Do you and your cohorts have time to relax a little on the weekend or evenings? Or do you need to study all the time? I read the program has clinicals start...

    AgathaKitty replied to skittles12's topic in CA Programs

    @skittles12, I'm applying to BCIT but am not sure for August or January (depends if I can finish up my prerequisites on time). I'm considering Douglas but it's a longer program. I've started the UBC supplemental and it's going very slowly. 300 words ...

    AgathaKitty replied to skittles12's topic in CA Programs

    Hello all, I'm applying to the 2014 UBC intake as well, and it's great to be in your company. I'm in my thirties, so this will be a second career for me (if I get into a school, that is). Anyway, I've been reading the forum and have been inspired by...
