   Hello freelikeair, I know that UBC admissions will be looking at the sum of your last 30 upper level credits, most likely the ones that are transferable to UBC (like your pre-requisites), you best bet is to get a hold of Ruxandra Vasiljevic at UBC an...

3. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

   NERVOUS IN VAN replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

   Theres an awful amount of judgement and shaming coming from both sides on this thread...how the hell can people work as a team with all of this pre-judgement... not all fat people are incompetent, uncapable and lazy, not all skinny people are bulimic...

4. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

   NERVOUS IN VAN replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

   It really shouldnt matter how any of our coworkers "look", as long as they are physically capable of the demands of the job. Its great to be healthy examples for our patients, and I think its wonderful (particularly with todays media) for patients to...

   Hi Kels397, thats a good question...whether or not to keep your car is really dependent on your financial situation, while it is extremely convenient, cost of parking at UBC is atrocious, unless you park just outside of the campus and bus in the rema...

    I have a feeling that people on the reserve list may have to wait a while and be patient when it comes to the second round of offers. People who have received offers have till June 15 to accept/decline, so it would make sense that administration woul...
