An admin deleted it - apparently posting a link goes against the terms of agreement. I have PM'd you the link! I still don't understand why the group isn't searchable

Just wondering. Did anyone else get accepted to both the UBC and U of T programs? I'm in the midst of comparing the 2 and I think UBC is winning for me haha So, I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who's in the same boat as I am :)

Meeks_86, I can't PM yet because I don't have enough posts, but my wife used to work at a university school of nursing and would direct LPNs that were hoping to get their RN to Athabasca University as they have a LPN to RN bridge program... It's offered on-line as a distance course, so maybe that could be an option for you? I took my physiology pre-req through Athabasca on-line (lab and all) and I found it to be a great class - lot's of support from the prof. We're hoping you all the best!

Heres the link in case you're interested:

zlee28, I'm in the same boat, can't decide! what are your thoughts?

Hi mazo2_! :) I was comparing the curriculum between the 2 schools and it seems that U of T places a bit more focus on research and health care politics/systems than does UBC. UBC also has more clinical hours than U of T and because of that, I'm leaning more towards UBC. It seems that UBC is also a lot harder to get accepted to and finishes earlier so we can write the certification exam before U of T students do. U f T clinicals are also great, but im worried about their community health topics - there's a lot of emphasis on community health and some of the clinicals seem quite far from downtown Toronto. It's soo difficult to decide though! What are your thoughts?

Oh I think I remember you. Where you the one who had just finished her exam that morning? Do not want to seem creepy, lol but I over heard you saying that (if that is you, of course).

I have not heard anything back since the interview? Is anyone else in the same boat? Just wondering because it seems like many people have offers or declines. Do you think this means that I'm on reserve? Thanks! :)
