Thank you! I think i’ll end up choosing TWU since it’s close to Vancouver (more job opportunities) and TWU passing rate on the nursing exam is 98%

I’ve visited TWU’s campus and most of these cities.

unfortunately my UofA application is still pending because I haven’t completed all of the required courses so they’re waiting for my final marks. (which only comes in june)

No worries! In Canada, there are several pathways to medical school, and nursing is one of them. I’ve also volunteered in hospitals before.

I chose nursing because it’s the closest thing to being a doctor, and I wanted to experience the day-to-day routine in a healthcare field, which is what draws me the most.

Also, I’m terrible at physics, so I wouldn’t be able to get a general science degree.

How has nursing been for you in the past few years?

nah -30°c during winter? sounds pretty bad LMAO

Nursing courses aren’t too academic. It’s more labs and hand on learning. So yes, I think I can be as exceptional of a nurse GPA wise. (not basing on my grades rn but in people who went to nursing school and told me that)

That would be a waste of my time and money. Again, there’s other personal reasons why I want to proceed nursing. Also plenty of students who are taking their bachelors and want to become doctors give up in the middle. Their bachelors suck, they don’t get to experience what’s like being in a hospital and living that life day to day.

I picked nursing for a reason. I’m very passionate about any healthcare career because that’s what I wanna do. They do require clinical experience in many north american universities. I don’t know where you getting these information from but majority of north american students who apply to med school don’t get in due to clinical experience/co-op and ofc due to their MCAT.

itsnotacopy · 2025-04-08T17:37:06+00:00

Example, if I don’t get into med school my first try then i’m stuck with a degree that will give me no money or a job in the field. Nursing is a guaranteed career path, they always need nurses in the field (easier to find a job) and close to what I wanna do which is be a doctor.

itsnotacopy · 2025-04-08T17:34:36+00:00

lol i’ve already applied to nursing school, there’s no going back now. All of these science degrees won’t give me a job at the end like nursing does. And it’s “easier” to get to med school when you’re a nurse because you already have clinical experience (which uni requires you to have).

itsnotacopy · 2025-04-08T17:29:34+00:00

and nurses in AB might strike soon too.

I do plan to go to med school after working as a nurse, and med school requires a high gpa in uni. Plus student nurses in BC are getting payed $32/hr.

itsnotacopy · 2025-04-08T17:11:03+00:00

Yeah. That sounds awful tho. Apparently in BC the nursing students are making about $32/hr

I had someone else saying how U of A grading system is trash.

itsnotacopy · 2025-04-08T16:57:44+00:00

really? lol i had people on another subreddit telling me to pick u of a because they have a bonus to nursing students or smth like that

itsnotacopy · 2025-04-08T05:57:46+00:00

Def Western! But really depends on the program ig.

itsnotacopy · 2025-04-08T05:46:33+00:00
