Due to the accelerated nature of the UBC-V BSN program, the program does not offer speciality nursing training. However, students can concurrently take specialty nurse training at BCIT (generally limited to the first two courses of each speciality) while still an undergraduate. Students can also apply to the Employed Student Nurse (ESN) program with a local health authority to gain clinical student nursing experience in a speciality environment (Emergency, ICU, OR, Cardiac, Burns and Trauma, High Acuity, etc.).
