UNBC : the Worst Nursing School (Prince George, British Columbia, Canada)





I took out big student loans and worked  very hard to get my registered nurse degree in order to become a self-sufficient member of society and give my child a better life. Yet I faced discrimination, abuse and persecution at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) when I was studying  there towards my Bachelor of Science in Nursing because I am an immigrant English Second Language student and a single mother.


These UNBC faculty members are primarily guilty in my case: Martha MacLeod, the chair of UNBC nursing program; Sarah Hanson, my instructor for NURS 315 (mental health nursing - practicum); Lyle Grant, the lead instructor for my mental health nursing (NURS 312 theory and NURS 315 practicum); and Khaldoun Aldiabat, my instructor for my community health nursing (NURS 420 theory and NURS 440 practicum).
UNBC waited until the end of my registered nurse training program to fail me in the last course, thereby maximizing their revenue, the bank’s profit, and my student debt.  This happened even though I was one of the best  nursing students in this program.  In turn, that caused me to lose the registered nurse job I had been promised.  Now, instead, I owe a huge student debt with no means of repaying it -- or of supporting myself and my child.

UNBC consistently supports the chair of UNBCs School of Nursing, Martha MacLeod, no matter what she and some of her faculty members do to nursing students.  UNBC officials turn a deaf ear to students' complaints unless the student can afford to get a lawyer involved.  And guess what? Since 2011 UNBC has forbidden students from employing lawyers during the appeal process!

  
Please help me get my nursing degree from UNBC, so  I can find a job and pay back my student debt.
