hi there i am currently on the process of filling up my application for nurse registration in british columbia.

the situation is like this. 1992 up to 1993 i was enrolled in nursing and then i decided to shift to another course. Year 2001 i decided to finish my nursing studies on a different university. i garduated 2004

should i still include my nursing studies from 1992 if so what would i put on column degree earned (under nursing education form 16) the choices are diploma/certificate and degree.

i hope someone would help me shed light on this.

i really appreciate any feedback from anyone. thanks

I wouldn't include it on your application. You didn't complete the program and the value of including it is iffy. You also wouldn't include non-nursing jobs you had that wouldn't add anything to your chances.

WHile on the topic I should ask something similar. I did CEGEP about 10yrs ago, I did one semester to get my physics pre-req for the next year, but still had to attend a full course load. Now since I only needed the one course I ended up just not going to or not giving it much effort to the courses that I didn't care to attend. I did great in 3 of the 6 courses I was signed up for, but the others were bad. The next year I attended an aviation program that turned out to be a joke, it was new and mismanaged, I struggled and ended up moving out of town after just over 1yr of the program with poor marks and to top it off the program coordinator never properly coded my courses to show that I moved out of town, instead they all show fail or incomplete or something along those lines.

I am applying as a mature student and wonder do I really need to declare that I was in CEGEP for that time? Just worried they will hold that against me even though my current pre-req's that I am doing are going great, high 80's.

What should I do? could I get in trouble for leaving it out?
