Hello readers. Just curious if there is anyone out there whom is or has officially applied for the 2021 January intake for the BSN program @ UFV and what your experience has been thus far?
Me, I am working hard at my upgrades. I never thought I would be in my mid 30s and going back to Bio 12 and Chem 11 but here I am. I am working feverishly to get my classes done before Aug 15 as that is the last day your transcript has to be updated to meet the prerequisite requirements. I did and still do find this whole process overwhelming. When I met with the advisor at UFV she told me: English 12, Bio 12, Chem 11, and Math 11, come in with straight A's. I initially kind of thought, really??? Maybe I still do. I had a B+ in English 12. She recommended to pull that up to an A. So I am doing Chem 083 through UFV and Bio(now called Anatomy and Physiology) through online school district. I would be curious to hear if anyone else out there is considering or has applied and how your venture has been so far.
thank you for a warm welcome on this thread. I have few hours volunteer experience in a senior care facility and working experience at front desk in a clinic. I am trying to find volunteer opportunity in a health care facility. but because of this pandemic situation, it seems impossible. I am taking my courses at UFV. BTW, if anybody know volunteer opportunity anywhere in Abbotsford, please let me know. it would be a great help.
That's good volunteer experience for sure! As far as volunteer opportunities go, I wish I could help you. Unfortunately, as you've mentioned, the pandemic is making it hard for volunteers to gain any experience. I work at a seniors long term care facility, and to my knowledge, all facilities are closed to visitors/volunteers until further notice. Hopefully the volunteer hours you've accumulated so far will work to your advantage for this application because I don't think any facilities/hospitals will be open for volunteer opportunities for the next several months. Nonetheless, I wish you all the best!
Thank you and I am very happy to find this thread. Fingers crossed about my experience, hopefully that is enough. I am trying my best to get really good marks on the pre-req's :):)....I wish everyone of you guys the best of luck!
Hi Rupali. It's Caroline :)....I am happy you got on this thread, it will be very helpful especially as a support group to guide us through this path we are all partaking. Is everyone a 1st time applicant for the nursing program at UFV?

Hi Caroline,
I initially applied for the September 2020 intake, but unfortunately I wasn't able to finish my pre-reqs on time so my application wasn't complete.
Thank you caroline. I am just hoping that volunteer hours do not come as a barrier in my way to nursing. I tried hard to work volunteer hours, but everybody say no because of safety reasons.

Damn, I applied with confidence in my High B Grades, But now I'm seeing everyone grades. I don't even know if I should just give up. LOL
