  1. I second this. Though your GPA is important, it is only part of the picture. I got in with a much lower GPA than A LOT of applicants. I noted there were a few with 4.0+ GPA's that did not get in and many with 3.xx get in. Remember, it is only a p...
  2. It depends. I have a reasonably high GPA in the program thus far, and homework can vary. I would venture between 10-40 hours. Right now, I have 3 assignments coming due at the same time, so I'm spending 8-10 hours a day.
  3. Being in the first intake for TRU has surprisingly been quite smooth. I am really enjoying the program so far. I applied for the full-time program, but switched to part time before I started. Part-time study still comes with a substantial amount o...
  4. Absolutely. Send me a message.
  5. I applied to 4 schools and got accepted into all 4. Chose TRU. my GPA was 3.89, ER/ICU background, 9 years experience. ACLS, and multiple certificates were expired on my CV. what I noticed from many who got in: 1. yes,...

  8. 2023 Applications to UBC and UVic NP program

    I got an offer from TRU as well. I am going to accept it, so there will be a spot opening up at UVIC for anyone on the waiting list. I have not heard if they have full approval yet.
  9. 2023 Applications to UBC and UVic NP program

    I did an info session with U of A and if was a delivery method like UVIC, you go for. Week or two each semester then distance for the rest. UNBC I was told was similar but I can't remember if I confirmed it or not. I would think so, I had heard th...
  10. 2023 Applications to UBC and UVic NP program

    I applied to 4 programs, being that they are all programs I can do from a distance. I applied to UNBC , University of Alberta, UVIC, and TRU. At the end of the day, If I needed to drive to PG or victoria, then I will. Spread your applications out if ...
  11. 2023 Applications to UBC and UVic NP program

    I'm sorry to hear this. That really sucks. my GPA for BScN is about 85%, BCIT ER 90% and BCIT ICU 90%. I have experience primarily in ER and ICU (both community level and tertiary), and newly hired into the urgent care clinic. ER focuses on...
  12. 2023 Applications to UBC and UVic NP program

    I think so? I mean, I work in Kamloops urgent care clinic currently, and the program - albeit new - still needs to go through the same approval process with BCCNM. They did say it will be a learning curve for all, and honestly, I'm totally comfortabl...
  13. 2023 Applications to UBC and UVic NP program

    It sounds like a few people had multiple offers at multiple schools, so being on the wait list is extremely promising because there are many that will turn down offers!
  14. 2023 Applications to UBC and UVic NP program

    I got my offer email for UVIC, and I'm waiting to hear from TRU (next week) as I live in a rural community close to TRU. TRU is approx $16,000 for the whole program, plus $3000 for books/supplies. I don't know UVIC costs, but I presume roughly ...
