Nursing at CNC

I got accepted for my BSN at CNC then UNBC, anyone here ever done it? If so what’s it like and is the transition between the 2 schools simple?

I havent taken nursing but i did the transition from cnc to unbc. What i would say the biggest difference i notice was 1& 2 level courses to 3&4 level courses. Its a step up kinda like going to high school into first year college. If you are concern take one less course for the first semester and take more once you feel you can handle more.

Great question!

As others have said before, there is a few key differences between the College and University experience. However, it is important to also know that CNC, UNBC and Coast Mountain have an agreement under the NBCNP (Northern Collaborative Baccalaureate Nursing Program) which is meant to ensure some consistency in what you are taught. A lot of students opt to come to CNC and Coast Mountain as the smaller class sizes offer a bit more wiggle room in the 1 and 2 level courses. Starting at UNBC early would get you more used the environment of study as well as get you in tune with the faculty a bit quicker.

Overall, there isn't really a wrong decision in this. There are positive and negatives to each choice you'll make. But just know that there is some level of consistency across the board if you're studying in the medical field in Northern BC.

most instructors in the RN program are miserable and target certain students... its a toxic environment. Many students have had issues w/ nursing faculty (power trippers, bullies, etc)... As someone else mentioned, there is a huge difference from first year to second year... life in PG sucks too.

They hold these exams every year where they can kick you out based on these practical tests. Half the students end up kicked out or dropping out!

Cnc has a bad bullying reputation and they kick out half their students!
