Hey kzos, I think what you have is okay as long as you have at least 3.0 credits of physiology and 3.0 credits of anatomy, that those courses are human anat/phys (as opposed to animal), and that they cover all body systems. Check out the link below, ...

What aNurse'son said, except I think that there are different admissions GPAs for the transfer and degree holder routes. The 55/120 is people from both streams who have already enrolled in classes for Winter 2015 (it is possible that there are more w...

Hi kenifeh, I took BIOL235 at Athabasca U this summer, and they give you up to 12 months to complete the course. I had near-zero background in chemistry/biology (nothing in the past five years) and I managed to complete it in just under three months...

I also just received the little green checkmark! I am absolutely ecstatic and really excited to meet you all :) Also interested in joining the Facebook group if that ever precipitates!

The other two posters are right - you can really make things work in your favour if you apply to schools that require a supplementary application or look at more/less transfer credits. I'm still waiting to head back for January entry, but will proba...

I'm in the same boat as allcats, but my transcripts arrived later (late in September) and my GPA is a teeny bit higher (between 3.75 and 3.90, depending on how it was calculated). But I have the same status and the same green circle haunting my dream...

Zero. is accurate regarding foreign licensing recognition; depending on where you're from, this could make things easy or difficult. E.g., it is much easier for Brits to work in Barbados than Americans, Canadians, etc. I looked into Barbados, in part...

Lucia1225 - the January entry program I applied to is through the University of Calgary, though I think there may be another (others) on the East coast that have different requirements!

NCLEX (the Canadian version thereof) will be the new required entry-to-practice exam in Canada as of January 2015, so yes, you would need to write it. You can read more about the Clinical Competence Assessment for Manitoba and more about entry-to-pr...

Thanks, fingers_crossed, I forgot that. I was sitting here trying to figure out why exactly I hadn't considered the UOttawa program more seriously - it's because I read somewhere that the A&P I took doesn't fit their requirements and I'd need to ...

Thanks for the update - I'm still waiting - and very impatiently I might add!!

I have looked at this program also a bit, but have not decided if I will apply or not. My concerns are mainly: 1) 12-24 students is not a lot to admit, very competitive, 2) I have never taken a research methods course, and would need to complete one ...

Most programs that I have seen have a GPA requirement of 3.0 or 3.3, with competitive averages being somewhat higher. This means that based on grades alone, you are probably not be a competitive candidate. However, don't lose hope! There are things y...

Yes, sounds like clickbait to me. Also, Rose_queen is right - the major US news outlets would be all over this.

Where did you read this? I'm super interested in the ebola outbreak and following it quite closely, but haven't seen any reputable sources reporting his death, only that he was still in hospital as of 53 minutes ago.

I have had both done by RNs and I believe LPNs are able to do so as well.

I am a bit confused at the whole process! My GPA is >3.8, why am I still waiting? My pet theory (completely unsubstantiated) is that there are preferential admissions for people who completed their undergrad degree at U of C. Which I suppose makes...

I think what quartz said is pretty accurate! The nursing building is under construction so I didn't really do a proper visit of it, but the tour guide I had was a nursing student and she said that most of her classes were in the ICT building? Which i...

Still haven't received a decision, but I got to Calgary yesterday and went on a tour of campus today!

So this is not a super important update, but I finally broke down and emailed the Nursing admissions officer (i.e. the person from the faculty, not in Enrolment), and she replied with the following: We have not yet started to review any applications...

I don't have a strong opinion on either program, but I agree with nabs88: LSHTM is an amazing school and very well-regarded. I have a few former classmates who went there and absolutely loved it. As they've got (one of) the top tropical medicine prog...

I'm not a nurse yet, but I wonder about this too… hoping to start nursing school in January and have a lot of hobbies/volunteer activities I'd like to keep with. I also have a prior undergraduate degree and managed to fit it all in + gym + yoga + pic...

Still waiting...

Lucky you that you've had email contact with someone from the faculty of nursing, because I haven't at all! Though admissions has been brilliant every time I've called, and my application was reviewed the day after they received my last transcript. I...

Update: My status on MyUC was just changed to "The Recruitment and Admissions office has reviewed your application and we are awaiting a Faculty decision."
