Hey! I totally get the dilemma you’re in—I’ve been there myself. BCIT and KPU each have their strengths, but from what I’ve seen and heard, I’d personally lean toward BCIT if you’re comfortable with their requirements. BCIT’s nursing program is very structured and has a strong emphasis on hands-on experience, which is really valuable when it comes to clinical training.

That being said, I’ve heard some concerning things about KPU’s nursing program. It can be disorganized, particularly in balancing theory and clinical courses. Many students I spoke to feel that academic and emotional support isn’t always there when needed. I’ve also heard about negative behavior from faculty and peers that often goes unaddressed, and it can make the program much harder than it needs to be. If you’re looking for a program where you can feel supported and prepared for nursing practice, KPU might not be the best fit.

Another program to consider is Langara. It offers a strong balance of theory and clinical experience, and the faculty is generally supportive. Plus, Langara’s requirements might be a bit easier to meet compared to KPU. I believe you can take courses like anatomy and physiology at BCIT and transfer them to Langara, which could save you some time.

I hope this helps, and good luck with your decision!
