   I spoke with UBC this week and they let me know that we will find out about our practicum placements the first week of September. It looks like we will submit our first 3 choices and they will try to work with that, but cannot guarantee anything. T...

   STAR LITE replied to al0a's topic in CA Programs

   In regards to the career opportunities for the bsn-PB vs the 4 year, I believe they are trying to show that the PB has more advanced career opportunities available like educator and management in comparison the the 4 year Bsn. If that is true or not,...

   STAR LITE replied to helisha's topic in CA Programs

   I agree, it is hard to judge a school by one opinion. However, I believe there is a big difference in the quality of education between public and private schools - Sprott Shaw and Stenberg are private. I am declining my spot to Douglas RPN for Sept...

   Monark, can you tell me a little about why Stenberg sucks? I have a friend who is contemplating taking the program there as she couldn't get into Douglas after applying several times.

   I've declined my offer at Kwantlen to accept UBC. It was a tough decision as both programs have strengths. Good luck to everybody in the program.

   STAR LITE replied to skittles12's topic in CA Programs

   Thank you for the advice ogormankelsey, I agree, I think I have to pay the deposit. Timing is so much in life and I think this example illustrates it perfectly. I emailed UBC admissions today to tell them my situation, but I don't have that much hop...

10. Kwantlen Polytechnic University Nursing Post-Baccalaureate Program

    STAR LITE replied to al0a's topic in CA Programs

    Thank you Junoboy, I got confirmation from admissions that classes end at 2:00. The kwantlen program sounds great because it is so flexible, but I am a bit nervous about learning nursing online. Can any current students give us feedback as to how i...

    STAR LITE replied to skittles12's topic in CA Programs

    Thank you amsamps, it is exciting! But, UBC is still my first choice so I am still hoping to get in there. I totally understand about not wanting to bombard UBC admissions and I think you are right about her waiting for some movement to happen befo...

    STAR LITE replied to skittles12's topic in CA Programs

    So I have now been accepted to Kwantlen's Post Baccalaureate program and the admissions advisor would like me to let her know and pay the $600 deposit by Friday!! So, this is pretty stressful and potentially expensive as I feel I have a good chance ...

    STAR LITE replied to al0a's topic in CA Programs

    I have also just received an acceptance to the program which is great, but I am on the wait list for UBC as well so I am pretty confused about what I should do. I was told by admissions that I have until Friday to decide, but there is no way I will ...

    Thanks fellow wait listers. I'll check in for us next week if we don't hear anything else on the forum. No sense in all of us bombarding the administration with emails:) I feel like the list is moving fast, do you? But, I guess this is the time w...

    Hello wait listers, I spoke with admissions today and I have some good news! Six people have refused their offer already, therefore we all move up 6 spots. I am now number 11, feeling a bit more positive about that! Good luck to us all:)
