I wouldn't worry about that. I had less volunteer experience than you and I got in first time. Do you have any work experience in customer service? I used my skills from my work experience as examples...
WOw! that's impressive! The main things I can think of is having more university credits. Usually they like to see people with more credits than just the bare minimum but that being said they defs...
I think being yourself and communicating in a clear professional way is probably the best way to go. Rumors about getting in, aspects of the program and even the new curriculum run rampant around BCIT...
Yah, I would ask admissions about that because I definately littered my answers with my personal experience and emotions. In the program we do a lot of reflective journalling so I wouldn't be...
@catandions, who did you hear about the incident report thing from? I got in first time by just writing as though I was journalling about my experience. I used professional language and just talked...
Interesting! I hadn't heard that before. I definitely filled mine out like a narrative. I was over on all of my word counts but I tend to be wordy. Try not to go over though. I have heard you can...
Don't think of it as a quiz because it's not one. I read over the standards at the link they supplied and had an idea of a few different scenarios I could write about for each
It was really straightforward to me. Think of it like a written interview. The standards of nursing are traits nurses must demonstrate and they'll ask you to give examples of when in the past you...
I think it's less spots than that. As far as I know, with the new curriculum starting, they are still accepting the same number of students per year, it's just being split up over three cohorts. So...
Microbiology, I think is. Pathophysiology most likely will not be. The patho at BCIT is extremely nursing specific and also specific to the nursing program. I'm sure you can email the advisor and ask...
I think I included 2 reference letters. One from work ( I worked for a printing company in sales) and one from my volunteer experience at the seniors home. My GPA is about 4.0. Most people's GPAs...
Hey, I'm entering Level 2 in August and I provided reference letters. As long as they are good and relevant I can't see how it would hurt. Let me know if you have any questions and please feel free to...
Hey guys, Just for your interest, we've started up a BCIT nursing student newsletter here Current Issue | The Scoop of Practice Please check it out. We are hoping to do lots of staff/student profiles...
I'm pretty sure that applying earlier in no way helps you. Bcit is a competitive entry program. They wait until the application close date to start going through them as far as i am aware... As for...
Hi J.gill for the prereqs you don't need to transfer them usually. Just submit a transcript when you apply. Once you're in the program if you have any courses you want to transfer such as microbiology...
Hi guys, I'm well aware that most of you are probably not watching this thread anymore, but I have a question. I am starting this Jan and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations about which...
My prerequisite GPA was: ENGL 1177 Academic Writing or a first-year transferable English composition course* (3.0 credits) - I used my degree which has a 4.0 gpa Anatomy & Physiology* - must have...
I thought I read that people who had applied before, had gotten accepted before redoing the questionnaire but I can't find the post so maybe I dreamt it. I tend to get very realistic dreams when I'm...
Make sure you guys apply again, It looked like last year some people got conditional acceptance before even filling out the questionnaire if they were applying for the second time. I'm so sorry to...
