I choose this institution because of its proximity to home, and because this institution offers undergraduate nursing students clinical placement in their first year - which I felt was a valuable learning opportunity that I wanted to have in my education.
Course Curriculum :
I really like the course curriculum. I like that we are able to go into the clinical setting in the first year something unique to this institution. I also like that students have a weekly clinical lab which allows them to practice clinical skills hands on.
Placement :
They're okay. I wish we had more variety and I wish we had the opportunity to choose our clinical placement location (ie. nursing unit). I think that providing students with more placement varieties would be beneficial to their education.
Fees :
Fees for this program include tuition fees, school/student association fees, residence fees, textbook expenses, fees for placement uniform and badges as well as transportation expenses (ie to and from placement).
Examination Structure :
The exam structure for my program is all multiple choice with occasional fill in the blank questions. They're also a lot of questions where you have to choose the most correct answer or the answer that you would do first.
Faculty :
Good - however I think they could be more supportive with regards to students mental health. I think also that they shouldn't be as intimidating to incoming students as sometimes they can scare students into fear of failure.
