Hi! I am starting the Pnur program at Douglas this Fall and I didn't receive my welcome letter with all the pre-clinical requirements until June. So if it is anything like my scenario you might have a bit longer to wait.

It does seem a little daunting, but it used to be that the very last semester during your preceptor-ship you had like 2 or 3 other courses on top of that. I would rather have a heavy course load earlier than later so I like the restructured outline better lol

I chose psych because I and many of my family members have been affected my mental health disorders and if it weren't for the great doctors and nurses I had I wouldn't be were I am today. As far as General vs Psych you will be able to find a psych position more easily with the BSPN vs the BSN. Both programs teach psych and med surge (obviously the psych you get more psych and gen you get more med surge), but beginning practice for psych nurses is in psych and for general nurses is in med surge. I will probably go back one day to to get my RN (UBC, KPU, UFV and VCC have bridging programs) to open up more job opportunities later on in life, but for me right now the BSPN program is my dream program and the first step in obtaining my dream job!

One of my friend's friends got into fall 2017 after being accepted into winter 2018 last week. I believe she finished the semester before you though. What made you want to go into the psych nursing program at douglas?

I got mine on monday!

What made everyone choose psych nursing?

did you also apply for fall 2017? I got in for fall, but i have a couple friends who got in for jan 2018.

If you applied to Fall 2017 then yes you will be on the waitlist. So if a spot opens up and you are the next in line for a seat you will be offered a seat

I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

I know right now that the program is full, but they do foresee quiet a few people dropping because of other offers. Seems a lot of people just used the psychiatric nursing program as a back up instead of genuinely wanting to get into mental health & addictions nursing. One of my pet peeves, but what can you do. Anyways one of my friends was shortlisted and was told she would hear back sometime in May, so definitely go to info session. They won't give you a seat unless you have gone to the info session. Good Luck and hope you get a seat!

anyone else get accepted into this program for Fall 2017???
