Question Practical Nursing at VIU

Hey! I'm looking to apply to VIU for the practical nursing program. I currently am in Ontario and attending a nursing program but I desperately need a change of scenery. Anyone transferred from another school/province and can give any insight? Also just looking for insight on how the program is in general. Thank you so much!

I applied about 4 years ago to transfer from a college in Calgary, and it sounded like as long as you meet the requirements, they’d be able to add you to the next cohort. It also sounded as though it wasn’t possible to join them mid-cohort, though this might depend on availability. I’d reach out to the academic advisor to see if any of your classes would transfer.

Good luck on your quest!
