UBC 2022 Nursing

Published

Hey guys! I just wanted to start this post for anyone applying for the 2022 cycle for UBC nursing.  Just wondering where everyone is coming from and their experiences.

How intense is the 20 month program? I am looking to apply but would have an insanely long commute and I am wondering if it is actually possible to be able to do well in this program given the circumstance.

The program is pretty intense. There are 2 days a week of class on campus, ~5-6 skills sessions on campus per semester, and 2 days per week at a clinical site (e.g., a hospital) for 11 weeks per semester. On top of this you'll need to put in extra effort to learn skills and knowledge to use in the clinical setting (depending on how prepared you want to be for your clinical rotations).

Hi guys! 

I've been accepted into the 2022 cohort and I'm wondering if it's necessary to live close to/on campus for the duration of the school year. I've also luckily gotten an offer for Winter housing, and I live about an hour's commute away from UBC. Given there aren't classes on campus daily, would it be necessary to live on campus? I'd like to save money if possible...

Thanks!!

Does anyone know what day the term usually starts? Is it typically the Tuesday after labour day as usual?
I have a possible work shift on Friday/Saturday Sept 2&3 and was wondering if that would interfere with anything

The term will start on Tuesday September 6th, which is the day after Labour Day.

Hello, I saw you are/were on the waitlist. Did you get offered a seat?

Hi:) No they haven't offered me a seat yet and I started as #13. I'll post it on here if they do as soon as it happens!

Does anyone know if there's a due date for CPR to be done, the mask fitting, or vaccination forms etc?? I'm on the waitlist and I don't wanna scramble trying to get these done and I want to have enough time to do everything:) I'm assuming that once people from the waitlist get offers, they'll give us more than enough time to complete these things?? 

If anyone knows let me know!

You’ll get your own due dates specific to you.

Hi!!

For those of you who were accepted (so far), and accepted your offers too, can you confirm that this is all we had to do by June 7 to maintain our offer: 

1. receipt of criminal record check 

2. accept our offer on both SSC and on the pdf thing which we upload to the canvas shell 

3. tell them the 2 dates of our booked immunization reviews 

 

and then also meet prerequisites by June 9 (confirmed its June 9 for the official transcript not 7!) 

 

Also, can anyone tell me if you guys can see your registration date already or if we're gonna be given a registration time later on? 

 

Thanks!

Has anyone heard anything about the AL list movement from admissions or anyone else? I am sitting at AL-19 and feel pretty nervous that fewer people will get taken off this year.

Also wondering this, I know up to AL-4 got accepted but I feel like last year a lot more were accepted off the waitlist by now?

Yeah! I have been pretty nervous about it and looking back on last years’ timeline. Hoping it’s just a different schedule rather than less seats coming up at all.
