The UBC School of Nursing offers an innovative and advanced program designed to prepare leaders in nursing practice. As a nursing student, you’ll be exposed to the latest technology, encouraged by leading academic scholars and teachers, and provided with a broad range of resources.

Through classroom study and clinical practice in acute care and community settings, you will graduate highly prepared to practise as a registered nurse in an ever changing health care environment. You’ll learn from faculty members who are continually recognized for ground-breaking and dedicated work to these substantive areas of nursing including primary health as well as theoretical and relational practice, research, leadership, policy and ethics.

To be considered for admission, applicants must 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, including first-year English (3 credits), and Human Anatomy and Physiology (6 credits). The School of Nursing accepts applications from international students who meet the admission criteria; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents are given preference in the final selection process.

Things I loved about this program: BC and Vancouver are a mecca for film production and have so many film locations and job opportunities, not only within Canada, but from productions around the world that shoot here. You will be part of a tightly knit group of maybe 20 students who will become great friends. And UBC has a stellar reputation that will help on your resume. This is a great uni and program for anyone seriously interested in this career.

12 hour clinical rotations and school work, keeping up with exercise and a social life -- it's all stressful. UBC will push you, because hospitals will push you. I volunteered at BC Children's before applying to get an idea of what I was getting into. I recommend you do the same.

I am in year three and started in biology. The UBC-Vancouver program goes for 20 months. Okanagan has a direct entry program if you want to start in nursing right away. Both are really good programs and I'm happy to be here. The acceptance rate is around 20% each year.

Talking to people ahead of me in the program and recent grads, I know there will be excellent work opportunities waiting for me when I graduate. Just make sure you know what you are signing up for!
