STAR LITE

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...

Hello all, I hope everybody's registration was successful this morning. Does anybody know when we find out where our clinical placements are?

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,...

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.

I also received an offer today :) Looking forward to meeting you all at orientation in August. What an incredible 20 months this will be!

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...

Wow things are really moving fast now :) Asamps and ogormankelsy I have a feeling you will get an offer next week and I may get one a few weeks after that. I agree it is absolute torture, I mean we are all supposed to be resting up for nursing schoo...

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...

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...

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 ...

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:)

Hello fellow wait listers, has anybody heard anything yet? And for folks that have been accepted, what is the system? When is the tuition deposit due? How much is it? And, when is the remainder of the tuition due? Just trying to get an idea of w...

Yes, you will get a seat! If you already have microbiology all you would have to take is pathophysiology to apply to the RN at Douglas. It might actually be shorter as you could start right away. Check out that option as well. I have met a lot of...

Hi Kirota, I saw you on the UBC forum as well. I hear you about the competition being so fierce at UBC! I got an interview, but then was only wait listed #17, so to be honest I don't have a ton of hope. I was offered a seat in the BPN program for...

Amsamps and Ogormankelsey have you been accepted to other programs as a back up if UBC doesn't work out? I have been accepted to the psychiatric nursing program at Douglas, but I wouldn't be starting until September of 2015 (I have transferred the c...

Hello fellow wait listers:). I meticulously looked through UBC's forum for the past years and I came up with the following stats for us: In 2009: 17 people got off the wait list In 2010: 15 people got off the wait list In 2011: 20 people got off t...

I just briefly browsed through previous threads and it looks like people that were up to number 14 on the list noted that they were offered a position, but I know not all people post on here. I think I will accept the job and then IF I do get offere...

I got wait listed too - number 17! I think they said in the interview that the top ten is good, but beyond that I don't know if there is too much hope. Can anybody shed some light on this for me? What happened in previous years? Wow, I'm in such ...

. Unfortunately, I don't think we will hear until at least Thursday. I think the uncertainty is having an impact on everybody's mental health. So, let's try to take a deep breath and get our minds off of things for a bit - until at least Thursday....

So now the wait begins.... I keep ruminating over one of my answers in the MMI and wish I had answered it differently. Is anybody else feeling the same? I hope they lets us know sooner than later so we can plan for next year. I looked over last ye...

And then how many seats in the program?
