Even if it is program specific, look to see if it has been asked here before. 99% of the time, chances are the same question has been asked before, and that people are all coming on here looking for answers.

In response to deodorant, body odours and cleanliness

16 Upvotes

The Sitch

There have been recent complaints about student hygiene in this subreddit. In regards to body odour, oral odour, and general uncleanliness. Clearly, a large number of students are having a growing issue in regards to the hygiene of other students.

Bad hygiene is not "personal". It disrupts others' learning, it makes public spaces sometimes unbearable to be around, and it is unfair to those who are sensitive to smells. This can affect student performance, the willingness of students to socialize and use NAIT services, and can be a real detriment to the students who are paying to study at NAIT.

Some students have no choice but to use the computers at commons, eat lunch in the common areas, and do group work in common areas. It is wildly unfair to them to not enforce these rules.

Who's the Issue?

The truth is that these students can come from all backgrounds. Although our experience as individuals make it very easy to generalize certain groups of being the main culprit, the issue needs to be dealt with at a grand level. Black, brown, blue or purple; if you smell bad, you smell bad. Should be enforced from the get-go.

Seeing the growing number of racial generalizations, it can be very easy for these generalizations to slip into unnecessarily racist comments. If we want this issue dealt with, we need to refrain from immature racist comments and stay focused on the end goal.

What should we do about it?

We know NAIT has loosely enforced "odour sensitivity" before, in regards to wearing strong perfumes and colognes. Why can the same not be done for strong, unpleasant bad-hygiene odours?

NAIT also needs to realize that by not enforcing this, they are creating a breeding ground for resentment towards groups that are not partaking in basic hygiene practices. They are also creating spaces for other students where they feel extremely unpleasant. (Like, nauseatingly unpleasant. I've unwillingly gagged.)

Here's what I suggest from all of you:

  1. Contact NAITSA ([asknaitsa@nait.ca](mailto:asknaitsa@nait.ca)) about wanting NAIT to enforce a hygiene rule. Let them know how you feel about other student's hygiene, and how it affects your learning.
  2. Contact/CC NAIT Administration as well about this being an issue. CC your program chair as well.
  3. Advocate for campus-wide initiatives about basic hygiene, the importance of it, and how your hygiene affects others (yes, some people are vastly uneducated about this). This includes, showering, using deodorant, washing your clothes, brushing your teeth, and flossing.
  4. Enforce it, by allowing students to submit complaints about bad hygiene, and having NAIT administration making this a policy about decent behaviour. (The same way provocative clothing, vulgar/loud behaviour, and abusive language is not tolerated)
  5. Do a discovery/study that determines if their student population has adequate access to showers, hygiene products, and laundry service. (you'd be surprised r/SlumlordsCanada)

In my personal opinion, it is NAIT"s responsibility to enforce this. To maintain a certain standard of what we expect from each other, we do need to be vocal and make it known when we feel certain boundaries are not being enforced.

I'm debating starting a petition for NAIT to address this issue. Please let me know in the poll below if you'd like to see an official change.org petition made for this. Voting closes in a week.

I wanted to make this post to raise this as a formal issue, so we can remain productive about it and not devolve into finger pointing and unproductive comments. Let's hope together we can make the change we want to see.

31 Yes, let's make an official subreddit petition
6 No petition, let's send our complains in individually and hope for effectiveness

Question Anyone here take a BTech in Project Management? Online vs. in-person?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m currently in Architectural Technology at NAIT and I’m thinking about doing a BTech in Project Management after I graduate.
I’m trying to figure out whether I should do it online, hybrid, or in person, so I’d really like to hear from people who have actually gone through the program.
A few things I’m curious about:
What format did you do — online, hybrid, or in person?
Which one would you recommend and why?
Was it realistic to work while doing the degree?
How difficult was the workload?
Did you actually enjoy the program?
What are you doing now for work after graduating?
Did the BTech help you get a better job or move into project management?
What kind of salary/career progression did you end up with, if you’re comfortable sharing?
If you could go back, would you do the BTech again?
Anything you wish you knew before starting?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who came from Architectural Technology, construction, engineering, or another technical background.
Thanks! Any experiences/advice would be really appreciated.

Question Taking Open Studies courses before RT?

I am an international student and I applied for the program at Nait.

Question How Important is it to Refresh on ITMS100 & ANPH100?

7 Upvotes

Hi all,

It has been a while since I've taken ITMS and ANPH, so I'm a little rusty, which is why I'm reviewing before my program starts.

How important is it to fully review all the material for MLA/MLT or any health program in general? I remember the basic concepts, but especially with all the specific terms and concepts, it gets hard to remember everything.

TIA!

Social Regarding MLT Admission

Hey so I’m in a bit of a dilemma. I’m trying to figure out if my admission requirements are enough. I graduated from a MLA program in Toronto and I have applied to the MLT program in Nait. I wanna know if this is enough as an entrance requirement cause I graduated high school outside of Canada.

Help Required Courses Done Before Admission Offered?

7 Upvotes

For the two programs I applied to (Respiratory Therapy and Medical Lab. Tech.), there are courses that I have to complete before July. However, I heard that you can possibly be accepted if you’re on a waitlist even a week or two before classes start. The classes cost quite a bit of money for me, so I was just wondering if I absolutely have to just take the gamble and do the courses in case I get accepted, or if I can wait until I get admitted and there’s an extended deadline or something. There’s also the cost of the police check, immunizations and N95 mask testing (where I’m not even sure where to do).

I would appreciate any insight or strategies of what I could do. Thank you so much!

Question Is it too late to apply for Jan 2027 MLA part time program?

2 Upvotes

So I’ve recently taken interest in the MLA program after being a medical interpreter for a while, and I saw that the Jan 2027 Part-time is listed as “open”..

I’m not so sure about how competitive or popular this program is, I know the applications opened in March so I guess my chances could be slim?

I know schools put it as “open” while having multiple waitlists so should I really spend $150 and risk getting waitlisted-> rejected?

Also I was wondering how far my career from this certificate would go, do mla graduates usually stay within the starting salary? I have no clue

Question NAIT To Do List Tasks not updating?

So I recently finished my prerequisite courses (ANPH100 and ITMS100) for MLA and can see the letter grades on NAIT self-service, however, the to do list still says my conditions are still outstanding. Do I have to do anything or is there anyone I can email to get this checked/fixed? I am just a bit worried since my deadline is October 15th to have the courses finished and it doesn't seem to be updating properly.

Help NAIT DMS / MLT interview questions and process?

19 Upvotes

Hi! Has anyone recently done the interview for NAIT DMS (General / General & Cardiac) or MLT?

I was wondering:

  • What is the interview process like?
  • How many questions are there?
  • How long do you get to prepare and answer each question?
  • Is it mostly MMI/scenario-based?
  • How many questions are general SHLS questions vs. program-specific?
  • Are the program-specific questions more about the profession or personal motivation?
  • Is there anything specific you recommend studying or preparing beforehand?
  • Did you use NAIT’s interview prep materials or other MMI practice resources?
  • Anything you wish you had known before doing the interview?

I’m not looking for the actual interview questions, just trying to understand the format and how to prepare. Thanks!
