Thank you for the insightful and detailed response, definitely is helping me get a better understanding of the different schools and options.

Anyone able to give me some insight?

Hello, so I've been floating around this forums more recently lately after really focusing on what I'd like to do in the future and have decided on nursing. I'm halfway through grade 11 and looking for some thoughts and advice about nursing programs more specifically in BC. I'm curious to where you all think is the best to apply to. I see that BCIT has a good program and reputation, but it seems to be very competitive. Anything I could start now to improve my chances to get in there as I know I need at least a year of post-secondary courses before applying (which would most likely be done at Douglas). How does Langara compare to BCIT? Or is it better to try and go to UBC Okanagan or the bridge program between Camosun and uvic? If it makes a difference, I am hopping to eventually move to the states to work. Any information or opinions are greatly appreciated.

Hello to all the nurses, I'm going to try to keep this short, or at least as short at possible, hoping that you all can answer my questions, it is greatly appreciated. Firstly, my name is Devon and I am a sophomore in high school hoping to one day pursue a career in nursing. I live in Canada, if that affects any answers. I was wondering generally how long it takes to complete nursing school. What is taught? How much time do you get in clinical? How many clinicals did you get? The second part of my question. I'm hoping to go into L&D afterwards, but I hear that is quite competitive. I also wouldn't mind going into NICU. What is the chance of a new grad getting into either of these specialties?
