new to reddit so bear with me😭

I was rejected from bcit nursing for January 2027 intake, (4.21 gpa but low credits). after reading about how they prefer high credits/applicants with bachelor’s, I don’t have high hopes for the upcoming intakes as I have not been taking additional courses to focus on work and save up money (a mistake in hindsight lol). I could still apply for april 2027 and september 2027, but won’t have additional credits fully completed by their application deadlines, so I don’t think my odds are good. I’m pretty discouraged, but trying to explore other options.

my next program choices are Langara and KPU.
I already meet kpu’s requirements, so I applied for september 2027. I would have to apply for langara january 2028 intake as I’m missing 2 of their prereqs, which I will take in winter.

If i do get accepted to kpu in fall 2027, im not sure if i should take the seat or wait and try for langara instead?
I feel like I’ve wasted time and want to start asap, but I also want to choose a program I’m happy with.

I’ve heard good things about Langara, but I haven’t seen as much recent discussion about kpu’s nursing program, so I’d love to hear from anyone who’s currently in either program or has experience with them.

Is there a big difference between the two programs in terms of the learning experience, clinical placements, or overall reputation?
do you think waiting an extra 4 months for langara is worth it, or would you accept a kpu offer if you got one?

any advice or insight would be appreciated! :)

reply from nursing dep re my email “There were 288 applicants for 80 seats.”

I am in preceptorship, I am so fucking exhausted. Mentally , and emotionally I’ve been struggling. I’ve had to take a week off due to my health and it’s just been awful. The 12 hours has been tough for me. The unit itself, the nurses, irs just making me question this profession and carrier. I have 5 weeks to go u til I am done.

I didn’t expect us to have to do homework doing precpeorship.. the 2 hr debriefs are taxing. You don’t really get a full recovery.

Any tips would be appreciated or words of encouragement.

Hi everyone so im a 24f in my last yr of undergrad majoring in physics with a minor in Math. I came across NMT at the start of this year n found this program very interesting since I am also interested in cancer research and medical physics. During that time the program was first apply first accept model but just recently they made it competitive entry.

I am a little nervous n worried as there are only 20 seats and I was desperately wanting to secure a seat for sept 2027 cohort but now I don't know what my chances are like.

I don't have direct medical experience on my belt but I have a lot of volunteering and leadership experience with a few academic research projects. My high school average was about 95% and currently my uni gpa is about 75%. I was just wondering what do u think my chances would be like? Are the applications generally very competitive or do I have a good chance?

Any suggestions would be helpful thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking into After-Degree / Accelerated Nursing programs in BC and Alberta (specifically eyeing UBC, U of A, U of C, and BCIT).

I’m finishing my degree through Trinity Western University in a non-science major, Biblical Studies.

For anyone who applied to Canadian after-degree nursing programs with a non-science or religious studies degree:

Did admissions evaluate your degree as long as it came from an accredited/chartered university?

I am planning to register for the Physics 11 and technical mathematics upgrading courses as pre-requisites to hopefully go into the sonography program at BCIT. Has anybody taken these? Any advice on the course and the course load it self? and would you recommend getting the course materials second hand, if possible? Is it possible to have a FT job while doing these courses? I know that’s probably subjective, but what worked for you? TIA

I changed my mind about doing my major at Langara and want to go somewhere like BCIT to switch progams that is complete oppositd of my currnt would I send a transfer application or can I just send a regular BCIT application? (2nd year currently). Also would I be sending my Langara transcript or my Highschool

May we praise the Heavenly father in the house of God we will attend 🙏 God's blessings you carry please don't give up on one amen.
