1. University of Alberta Nursing After Degree 2015

   eatyurmakeup replied to bint_adam's topic in CA Programs

   Last year the intake was around 150. The GPA cutoff was initially 3.5, but they lowered it to 3.2. I've heard its 3.5 again this year, no plans to lower it, but I need to emphasize that this is just what I've heard. The program staff will tell you if...

   eatyurmakeup replied to bint_adam's topic in CA Programs

   I'm in the after degree class of 2016. From my experiences, they are very unlikely to make many exceptions for the MMI credit - there were people in our class who had microbiology and immunology degrees that were still required to take the class.

3. Questions to Ask During and Interview

   eatyurmakeup replied to missnursetrue's topic in General Students

   I must also disagree with the first point; my best friend graduated from an LPN program in September, has been working as an unlicensed LPN since October and didn't pass her exam until last month. If you wait you will lose out! The other suggestions...

4. Do Nursing Students Have a Life?

   eatyurmakeup replied to BellaInScrubs's topic in General Students

   I'm going to go with the popular "it depends". My classmates who don't have kids and spouse's definitely have at least a bit of free time, less if they work. You get some time to relax on long weekends, Friday nights and breaks at least some of the t...

5. University of Alberta After-Degree Nursing

   Eastglen School is actually a few blocks away from LRT Coliseum Station; maybe 15-20 minute ride on the LRT to the Health Academy building? That's part of Edmonton Transit so your Upass would cover that fare as well - you may be able to walk right to...

6. Athabasca English Courses

   eatyurmakeup replied to fingers_crossed's topic in CA Programs

   I think it would be possible, but not likely. The course material requests that assignments not be handed in all at once, and you should expect 1-2 weeks for marking. 2 months minimum I think would be more realistic - as well, one of the assignments ...

   I am originally from Yellowknife, but I have lived in Edmonton for over three years now. In terms of rentals - get on it NOW! I used to live on whyte ave (close to the university) and it is one of the tightest rental markets in the city. Keep your ey...

8. Athabasca English Courses

   eatyurmakeup replied to fingers_crossed's topic in CA Programs

   I took English 255 from Athabasca during the spring last year as a pre-req for Nursing - my BA is in Psychology. Not sure about the challenge for credit, and they may have altered the curriculum since I took it, but I didn't find the class itself too...

9. University of Alberta After-Degree Nursing

   eatyurmakeup replied to sw87's topic in CA Programs

   JUST heard back with conditional early admission from U of A for the after degree program - they are backed up, still have stacks of conditional admissions to send out. I'm one of those ones who needs to complete medical microbiology in the fall, a...
