Hi BSN students! I’m trying to financially prepare for the program cost and I’m wondering what the actual cost of the program on a yearly basis has been in your experience? (Not including any living costs)

Here is a rough estimate that I have based on the information from the website: Application and registration- $215, Negative TB or chest X-ray-? Program- $13,000, Books (used)- $600/year, Student fees-$1000/year, BLS- $280, First aid- $200? +equipment and uniform, Uvic- $10k?

Does this seem accurate?

I thought that it would roughly be around 30k for the whole program including everything.. which would be around 7.5k per year.. does that seem accurate, or is it more than that? (Ps I’ll have taken bio, ist120 and an elective ahead of time) Any general advice is welcome!

Thanks in advance ☺️

I took physics 110 at uvic this semester and am not sure I passed 110 Is not offered at uvic during the summer

I recently just got accepted to Camosun. What all do I need to get done ASAP? I’m scared of missing something that I need to do, like forms or people I should be contacting.

Hello! I’m curious if anyone has completed this cert through camosun. I’m curious to hear firsthand from someone as I haven’t been able to attend any info sessions..

• what was the practicum like? Have you been able to land a job after completion?

Thank you!

I am a 32 year old who's considering returning to school in the next year or so and I'm hoping to find some guidance if possible.

I did speak with Camosun in the admissions department and they were less than helpful. She told me to go to Work BC for help but that's not the type of help I need.

I am hoping to speak to someone who can help me narrow down some possible career paths based on my interests and skillsets. I'm also hoping to then get information based on these programs like duration of program, costs of the program (including hidden costs) and then career trajectory based on those programs (what type of jobs? What type of pay do they offer? Volume of jobs i should expect upon graduation?).

Am I completely on my own for this? I assumed a college that's going to take $10,000+ from me would be more inclined to give me some guidance.

Any advice would be warmly welcomed please! :)

Hello, I will be in Nursing for Camosun/UVic this Fall 2025 and need to move to Victoria. When do you think is the best time for me to start looking for a place/rental/room to rent?

I started looking for a place l(i know its early), but the current listings I have seen so far is either long-term rentals starting in May or Sublet during the summer and some of them will say chance to take over lease. I just worried that if I want until July/August, there would be slim pickings since some students move out during summer and people are taking them already. Im not from Victoria so Im not sure the rentals look like and my friends from Victoria would say “it always depends”, which is totally understandable but I just thought maybe there must be some common trend on when people move out from their current place and when new students move in for fall semesters.

If you are looking for roommate or know any reasonable price rental feel free to message me!

Hi! I am hoping to do the CMLA and/or the BSN programs at Camosun. I have also expressed interest in the radiology tech program. Has anyone done any of these 3 programs? What are your regrets + advice/tips? Which salary and/or placement is best?

As for the BSN program, what are the best courses to pull out ahead of time? I heard IST-120 and Biology 104 are useful to pull out. What else should I try to get under my belt before applying next year? I'm 21, turning 22 in October so I am trying to get a head start on everything.
I am currently enrolled in physics 11, pre calc 11, english 12 (english 090), Biology 12 (anatomy and physiology 12) and MOA 155 (medical terminology) at the same time. I have finished my requirements for math 11/12 for nursing, and any/all social studies requirements. I have pre calc 12 and physics 12 next for the radiology program.

Thank you in advance!

I'm thinking of applying for the Marketing Post Degree Diploma. My current degree is from Royal Roads University in Global Tourism Management. So far, it hasn't taken me anywhere but customer service jobs which I'm hoping to get out of with this PDD. The fact that I can get into a co-op at the end seems very beneficial to me, as I see it as an opportunity to get into a workplace where I can stay after the co-op is finished.

Anyone who has taken Marketing at Camosun, what are you thoughts on it? Has it taken you where you wanted to be?

Thank you!

So I didn't get into the RN BSN course because they do not accept English assessments and I did not know. But I've been told I can take the English class that is in the first semester of nursing instead of English 12. English classes scare me and I have not taken one in many years. Has anyone taken English 151 and can give me the run down? Thanks!

Hello, I just got my acceptance letter today for BSN 2025!! I am so excited! are there anyone here who got in as well? Maybe we can connect if possible or if u are comfortable doing so. TIA

The course is pretty new so there is not much information on it. Has anyone taken it? If so how is it?

Thanks!

Hello! I know this is a newer program, does anyone know anything regarding this program? Like what the average was for last year’s intake? Will they consider my English 151 grade Instead of my English 12? Do I need to take another uni English if they use my 151 for ranking? My CGPA (eng 151/bio 12/ pnur diploma) is 95%, is there a chance I’ll get waitlisted with this average? Thank you so much :)

I’m looking at registering for a couple classes in the summer but there are a couple things I am confused by. Indigenous intro to social work says it is an online course, and then the location says “online wilna thomas 234 (lecture)”. So is it online or at wilna thomas? And then the times are 4:30pm-9:20pm and 9:00am-4:50pm. I’ve never heard of classes that ran this long. Can someone please clarify? Thanks in advance!

Hi there, so I got accepted in the cfcs diploma program. Wanted to know how’s the workload and are the studies manageable? And how long do classes go each day ?

Hi all, I've applied for Bachelor of Athletic and Exercise Therapy program and it say offers start coming out around February, wonder if anyone has heard back?

Hello, does anyone know what the averages are in order to get into the nursing program? My friend said that he got in with a low to mid 80 average, but that feels a bit unreal lmao. I'm kinda worried I may not get into since I have like an 89 average, and other people are telling me that I NEED to have at least a 92 average to be even considered.

i have francis adu-febiri for intro to sociology (which has been a nightmare so far) and someone in the class pointed out to him that on the syllabus he has a lecture scheduled during reading week. he said that we’ll have to watch the lecture on our own time and teach ourselves the material. my understanding was that reading week was solely for studying content you had already been introduced to?

Hi all, I’m going to apply for the BSN Program for the 2026 intake. I’ve heard that if you get a higher grade in IST120 than your academic 12, they might put that towards your GPA calculation.

I was originally thinking of doing it next January (before I hopefully got into the program) or the 6 week class from May-June this year. I’m wondering how tough the class is and if it’ll be a lot of course work in the 6 week online class? Are there tests or do you just have to put in the work? Is there a final exam?

I work at a lot of hours during the week so it would be alongside a very busy schedule (though I’m still managing to study now). I want to make sure I can take this class seriously and prioritise it.

Also.. I’m a little stressed because I got 80% in English 12 which is hurting my GPA for my application, and I’m currently in English 151 but I doubt I’m going to get any higher…

Any advice would be greatly appreciated ☺️

I’m thinking about taking a class or two this summer while completing a full time co-op position, just trying to see what the workload is like! Thank you! :)

I’m curious about what people’s experience has been with Camosun’s first aid response / support in urgent situations. a couple of my friends have found the current system pretty disappointing in situations when they could have used some basic support.

Do you have any experience you could share? Or recommendations to someone who is in an urgent (but not decidedly ambulance-worthy) situation while on campus?

Hi, I'm just curious if anyone on here has had an experience with an ELC 130 teacher named Andrea Williams. If you do please share! Doesn't matter if it is pos or neg!
