UBC Nursing - September 2013

Published

Hey Everyone!

I'm hoping to apply for UBC nursing 2013, but I am a little worried as I haven't volunteered for 2 years. My question is, if I get back into volunteering this summer will my chances of being accepted be higher?

Thank you!

I don't know if im being too hard on myself. I felt like I repeated myself a lot and I didn't like the probing. I just wish I was asked why I wanted to be a nurse... definately didnt enjoy the process.

I was thinking the same thing as you! I had a perfect answer prepared for why I want to be a nurse, yet I could only talk about it during our chit chats with our interviewers. It's hard to show our passion for nursing without being asked that question. I think it is crucial!

I think we should hear back around may 7th. That is what I read form older posts.

I've been creeping previous threads and some cohorts found out about a week after interviews ended but last year it took 2 weeks. The Associate Director said the person sending out the acceptance/rejection letters is going on vacation so hopefully it won't delay the process. Really I am hoping it will speed everything up :)

Thanks for being brave enough to mention that! I feel the exact same way.... but it seemed as if everyone else was quite confident about their interviews, which made it a bit disheartening to know I didn't do as well. There is often a tendency to focus on the negative when looking back in hindsight, so try to fight it and keep hope! You never know :)

I hope everybody is projecting positive thoughts, and that it will translate into good news! :)

I recall her saying that the person who is sending them out is aiming to have them done before she goes on vacation, so hopefully we'll know soon! :)

I am very hard on myself as well. This can be a good and bad thing. This is always listed under my personal weakness, that I find for myself. But I am hard on myself, so that it makes me strive for greatness. So I can see that in a lot of you folks who are posting here. It already says something about yourself going and checking on this thread. ;)....I've found that it shows just how much me want this. :)...so that is on our side.

I got mine 10 minutes ago. It's from the same account as the person who sent us our invitations so it might take a bit.
