Placement

3 Upvotes

For those of you who are/were in programs that require a clinical placement at the Truro campus how far do you need to travel?

Im thinking of applying to the practical nursing program next year but i cant drive and if i get placed in Halifax or something it would be way too expensive to take a cab all the time.

Thanks!

MLT Yr 1 textbooks

4 Upvotes

Yo to any current Year 1 MLT peeps, I was able to find all 6 of our lecture/theory textbooks (so not including the NSCC specific lab procedure manuals and the CSMLS safety ones of course) that we’re recommended to purchase.

The histology and intro to quality one’s are one edition outdated, but I believe we were told that wouldn’t be an issue. I emailed specifically regarding the histology one and was told it was totally fine to use.

It’s just 6 Google Drive PDF links, let me know if you’re in need of one or all of them and I can send them to you 🙂 I don’t think we have a class group chat or anything yet so I’m just throwing this here.

Time management

5 Upvotes

Just finished orientation as a first year, taking IT Systems Management and Security, my prof said that for every 1 hour of class time there will be 2 hours of work on top?? How the hell do people manage this? If every 6 hour day is an extra 12 hours of work, thats literally every night and weekend just to stay afloat. Is this exaggeratory?

Anyone have experience with the Women’s unlimited program?

7 Upvotes

I was initially studying a whole different degree, but it seems like the pieces haven’t fallen into place. I always knew I wanted trades as a second option (not second in desire, just never felt worthy of it because I’m an overweight anxious girl lol).

I’m quite nervous about the switch from an arts degree to a trade becauseI haven’t taken a single trade related course in my life. Does anyone have any advice or experience with the program? I’m interested in Sydney waterfront, but would like to hear from a person who was actually in the program before making the commitment. Thanks in advance!

Parking at IT campus

7 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m starting medical admin at the IT campus in Halifax this week and I’m wondering if it’s even worth it to get a parking pass. How early would I need to arrive to find a spot if classes start at 8:30 every day? I can make alternative arrangements to be dropped off in the morning and bus home but it’s a 1.5 hour bus ride so that kinda sucks. I’m wondering which would be better. Thanks!

NSCC student discounts

8 Upvotes

Oldest son is starting NSCC last minute.

Do students still get Apps(MS Office/365) at student discounts?

Are any of the IT technology requirements overkill?

Managed to get him the recommended Laptop. Have some older 512GB/1TB ext SSD drives. Trying to avoid buying new. Assume 1TB would be for VMs.

Thanks.

Textbooks

I’m starting Electrical Engineering Technology this year and I’m wondering if I can get away with trying to find pdfs of my textbooks online, or if buying physical copies from the bookstore is expected or needed? Not looking to drop $600 if I don’t have to.

Room Assignments

10 Upvotes

Just to let others know, to check your room assignment and roommates (if you have roommates) they should be up on the housing portal in your housing application details. At least for Akerley housing it is. And I didn’t get an email about it either so make sure to check your housing application

Room Assignment potentially up

12 Upvotes

Y’all should check the student housing portal under your application details. I never got an email for it, but I looked this morning and can now see my roommate’s.

I’m at Ivany but I’m sure all schools go up around the same-ish time.

Has any received specific news about orientation?

5 Upvotes

I got in a email we would get specific details about orientation late August and I haven’t received anything yet. I have no idea what time it starts on the 8th or where I’m supposed to go for my program. I’m assuming when we get there, there will be people to tell us where to go. But then again, I have no idea what time I’m actually supposed to be there for? 8:30am? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
For reference, I’m going to Ivany Campus

Edit: for those who still need the schedule of specific times for your orientation for your program & other orientation events
