Hi, I'm a nursing student in BC going into my fourth year. I've maintained a 90+ average for all 3 years so far, worked as an RA, TA, store supervisor, etc and have multiple long term volunteer experiences. However, I was unable to get an ESN position this Summer d/t the fact that my permanent address is not in the region that I applied to. How will this affect me? Do employers often look for ESN experience or is preceptorship more/just as important? I would hate to have a hard time finding a job because I don't have enough experience working in a hospital. Is there anything I can do to make up for this?

@yelrac Thanks for replying. How high/ around what range would you recommend I keep my GPA? I really appreciate your help :)

@unicornpower Thanks for replying! Very helpful information, I will most definitely contact you if I have further questions. I greatly appreciate it :)

Ah I see, thank you very much for the information. I appreciate it. I think I will apply to Langara as a backup but my heart is mainly set on UBCO or BCIT. Once again, thank you for the assistance!

Hi, I am a first year student in the faculty of sciences at UBC Vancouver. I am planning to apply to either BCIT or UBCO for their BSN program after my first year here. I was wondering how difficult transferring would be? What GPA should I try to maintain to increase my chances of getting into either of these schools? I am also aware that BCIT requires volunteer hours/experience and I was wondering if it has to be in a healthcare setting to be selected for the program. If anyone has ANY information that might be helpful to me I'd be extremely grateful.
