I am currently in the process of applying to UFV's BSN program for the Fall 2020 intake and figured I would create a new post where those of us applying for the Fall 2020 intake can share/help each other out with the application/admission process. Anything from discussing GPA for pre-reqs, volunteer/work experience, etc. A little bit about me - I am just about finished my HSCI degree from SFU but took this semester off to retake some of the high school pre-reqs (Chem 11, Bio 12, Math 12). I did fairly well in these classes during high school but figured I could retake them again and see if I do any better.
As far as my healthcare related experience goes, I have been volunteering at a seniors home for 6 years now, and was recently hired by the same seniors home to work as a recreation aide. I also worked as a recreation aide at another seniors Independent Living/Complex Care facility for about 1.5 years. I also spent a year volunteering at a high intensity rehab unit where I helped the OT facilitate various exercise groups (this was during a time where I was still unsure between OT and nursing).
I'm hoping to complete my high school pre reqs by the beginning of January so that I can make the January 31 deadline. This will be my first time applying to UFV or any nursing program for that matter.
Hopefully this forum can be a place where us prospective UFV BSN students can help each other throughout the application/admission process and give each other pointers! Best of luck everyone! ?
I was admitted to the 3-year intake, but I’ve decided to attend UBC Okanagan. I contacted UFV yesterday and they said there’s still lots of time to offer my seat to someone on the wait list. So someone will get a happy email in the next short while ?
Hi, I was wondering what grades you applied with for UBCO nursing, or any volunteer experience, or university classes. I am wanting to apply for their nursing program as well. Any tips?
I’m not sure if this is the right place to be posting this. So please redirect me if there is a more adequate place to ask this question. Those of you who have completed your first or second year at the nursing program at UFV, how are you liking it? What are its advantages and disadvantages compared to other programs, that’s if you are aware about. Is it difficult to maintain a competitive GPA? Do you wish you had chosen another program?
