  1. BCIT January 2017

    babyfriendly replied to Kayyyy's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    They say right on their website that midterm grades are not accepted for foundation

  2. Douglas College - admission question

    babyfriendly replied to PursuingHappiness's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Just FYI, it's no longer first come first served. They've quietly added a line which says in the event students qualify for admission at the same time, the higher GPA on the pre-req's will get...

  3. Transferring to UBCO or BCIT?

    babyfriendly replied to chris122's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Both of these are not really transfer situations, so much as straight application for admission. BCIT is a 3 year program & has specific first year course pre-requisites which are listed on...

  4. RN with BSN interested in working (and possibly immigrating) in BC

    babyfriendly replied to jucicool's topic in Canada

    The TN visa is only in the US. Canada doesn't really have that. Nurses can still apply for permanent residency under the Federal Skilled Worker program. Given that you have experience &...

    babyfriendly replied to sarahjustloves's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I know this program says it's 7 semesters but how long is it in terms of calendar years from start to finish? Are the semesters consecutive like UBC's

  6. Help with my approach to a career in nursing

    babyfriendly replied to mgenerous's topic in Canada

    OP, have you run the tuition numbers from the private college compared to the BScN fees at Langara or Douglas or BCIT? I think both career wise & expenditure wise it would make more sense to keep...

    babyfriendly replied to RiceCrackers's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    The offers went out much earlier than August last year. The first post about accepting an offer was on June 26.

  8. BCIT - pre-requisites

    babyfriendly replied to freelikeair's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I think they're looking for subjects from different departments. If it's all Engl 100, Engl 110, Engl 250, Engl 311 etc then I think it might be a problem but you really need to talk to BCIT about it....

  9. BCIT - pre-requisites

    babyfriendly replied to freelikeair's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    what does your transcript say? Are the subjects all listed as "English" or do they have differing

    babyfriendly replied to laura25richards's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Many programs ONLY consider the the gpa of the actual prerequisites so no, you're not doomed. Just apply to those

  12. High school student has question (British Columbia)

    babyfriendly replied to Jsandhu12's topic in Canada

    I think UFV in your only option. Oh & Trinity Western (if Christian faith based program would work for you) TRU and UBC-O are the other big ones still accepting direct entry from high school....

  13. associate degree from America to canada

    babyfriendly replied to taylorm1993's topic in Canada

    you could consider something like the UBC program which you is 5 consecutive semesters & only takes applications from students who have 2 yrs minimum of post sec. BCIT is 6 semesters/3yrs. Direct...

  16. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    babyfriendly replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Officially you're supposed to go back to school & apparently do your BScN again. Which is crazy because schools don't give it out again - once you have it, you have it, so I'm not even sure anyone...

  17. What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    babyfriendly replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Canada might be contributing to the fail chatter. Since we converted fully in 2015 & didn't teach to the test, our first time pass rate is Huge crisis in the programs & the national...

  21. Douglas College (in BC) Fall '15 or Winter '16

    babyfriendly replied to juicybath's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Know someone who got rejection letter for Winter 2017 & the letter says applicants offered spots had completed their pre requisites in Summer 2015. Have you checked online dressage_girly? The...

  22. Langara vs. Douglas College 2016 or 2017

    babyfriendly replied to BCCordillera's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Douglas very quietly added a line about GPA to their admissions criteria. Used to be plain 1st come 1st served but now it says in the event of students qualifying for admission at the same time (ie...

  23. Kwantlen Sept 2016 Post-Bacc Admission

    babyfriendly replied to sarahjustloves's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

  24. Can a RPN become a midwife ?

    babyfriendly replied to althena's topic in Canada

    UBC's midwifery program is also 4 years & other than a university level bio & engl, you can apply right out of high school. There's no reason you can't become a midwife & you can start...

  25. Kwantlen Nursing Program

    babyfriendly replied to Steph604's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    ah... that one. Search this board. Someone was talking about it a while back & it wasn't a glowing review. I think kwantlen & ipad might bring it up. I've never seen an actual calendar year...
