LPN in calgary

[Ritu]

hi friends,

i am thinking to pursue license practicle nursing in calgary.but i don't have enough admission requirments for lpn.

first of all,i am not perfect enough in english.

second, i have done my high schooling from other country long years(12) ago.

let's say, i threw all most all science and mathamtics knowledge in the trash that i had learned in the school. now i have no idea of mathmatics and secience as well.

but i desparetely want to go to nursing school to be a nurse.i deeply thought about other courses too.at last,i came to realise that i rather like nursing profession.

here, i am in a terrible dilemma.that's why i am posting this thread to collect some encouragments and comments from experiece friends.can i be able to enter and to handle nursing course? what is the best way to make my dream come true?how long it will take for prepareing prerequisites courses?

should i start required subjects from the begining or can i just take grade 12 biology and mathmatic?are these course are really difficult?

i am so curious to know all the processes.actually,i have no friends and family in canada.

i hope, i can have many ideas from you.

thank you

I would work first on bringing your English skills up to par - you'll need to upgrade your Math and Biology, and to do this, you'll need to be able to communicate well with both spoken and written English.

Then, you'll have to take some type of placement test to find out what your skill level is equivalent to in Math.

I had to do my upgrading in Math and Bio - I ended up going back to grade 9 level Math, and finished 3 semesters worth with an A+ average each semester. I had to do Bio 11 and 12 - they are both fascinating and enjoyable - and it will be helpful to have them so fresh when doing the Anatomy and Physiology for LPN.

Basically, if this is truly what you want then take the first step of mapping out what you need to do to get from where you are, to where you want to be. Set small goals, and go for it!!
