Hi everyone, I am looking to apply to BCIT and UBC's BSN program in the upcoming year(s) and have scoured this thread, the school websites, and the BCIT Nursing info session videos on Youtube for information. So far I feel like I have done well in my research and have saturated myself with enough information on what is expected of me. But if you guys don't mind, I would really love to receive some more personally-tailored feedback on my chances of getting into the program from you experienced folk. In short these are my credentials: -Computer Science degree from UBC with 69% average. -Currently working a well paying professional job in the tech industry. -High school grades are in the A range. -I am just missing first year psychology and 6 creds of anatomy and physiology. I plan to take PSYC 1101 at BCIT and the Anat/Phys online at either TRU or Athabasca. -Concern: I do not have any health-related volunteer or work experience, and it would be difficult to start as I work full time. -Concern: my GPA is low- at the time I was doing a CS and Statistics degree, and the Statistics portion was a killer. By the time I dropped Stats it was too late... Based on my education and career you can probably guess that I have traditionally been on the more technical side of the sciences. Without going into too much detail, the reason for my career-overhaul decision is due to many difficult medical encounters in these last few years. My experiences have opened my eyes and made me greatly admire and respect nurses and others in the health profession. The medical knowledge and experiences you gain as a nurse are tangible, truly valuable, and can greatly benefit the well-being of yourself, your family, your community, and beyond (TravelNurse). I have found great meaning in this profession. I know I haven't disclosed too much, but based on the above, what are your opinions and thoughts on where I stand?
