It’s not just for women anymore yo. The world can be your oyster :)*<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n BCIT’s program<\/strong> for Nursing seems to be in high demand. This blog entry is to tell\/remind you there’s a November 1st opening for application<\/strong>. The earlier you apply the better.\u00a0 OH WAIT;\u00a0it looks like you need 18 credits or 3 full year courses after<\/em> high school (maybe Langara or somewhere else) before you even apply! (ACK) AND you have to be a Canadian Resident.<\/p>\n What to do!?<\/p>\n Apply (now<\/strong>!) to somewhere close to home (Langara, take your 3 courses, on Tuesday and Thursday only, and work part time).<\/p>\n OR<\/strong> live a little, and take that money from your parent’s RESP and go somewhere<\/strong>! You have so many places in Canada AND WASHINGTON STATE to go to, why not stretch your wings, go somewhere else for a year? I don’t recommend Manitoba but if you have relatives there, why not?! Never been to Saskatchewhatever, now’s your chance to meet some crazy amazing and interesting people!<\/p>\n What about UBC?<\/p>\n The pre-requisities (pre-req’s) for UBC’s nursing program<\/strong> include credit hours (courses) from other colleges or universities. Almost every college\/university in the lower mainland teaches the courses you need. For example, VCC has the equivalent Human Anatomy and Physiology course (HAP), Biology 1120 and 1220 (first then second semesters).<\/p>\n UBC’s nursing program<\/strong> sounds interesting. It’s an intensive 20 month program, AFTER you do a bunch of course work (Copied from the UBC website: To be considered for admission to the BSN\u00a0program, you\u00a0must have a completed bachelor’s degree or significant progress (minimum of 48 non-nursing university transferable credits) toward a degree in another field of study.\u00a0Note: Applied degrees will be considered on case-by-case basis)<\/em> at ANY accredited university or college<\/p>\n https:\/\/nursing.ubc.ca\/sites\/nursing.ubc.ca\/files\/documents\/BSN%20%20September%202017%20information%20session%20.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n Aside from making a difference in the lives of individuals throughout the world, choosing to work in BC comes with a lot of considerations, one of which is salary. Moving to Vancouver Island might not be an option for everyone, but as a sample of the type of salary grid<\/strong>\/rate of pay, use this link as a starting point:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.viha.ca\/NR\/rdonlyres\/D516B968-CA74-447F-ACF7-77A9E3DE6B2B\/0\/BCNursesSalaryApril2017.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n Anywhere other than BCIT or UBC?<\/p>\n Sometimes a community college is a cheaper option, and closer to where you live (or along a major bus route!).
