Need help picking between a college

[Ptakhar]

Hi guys, i'm currently in grade 12 and need help from the experts. I applied to Langara's "citation in Foundations in Health, " and Douglas college's "academic foundations." Which one is the best program? Is it easier to get into Douglas or Langara's nursing program after the prerequisite and can I use my prerequisites from Langara to get into Douglas's nursing program, vice versa? Thanks guys for helping me out in my long journey ahead!

I did "Academic Foundations in Nursing Studies" at Douglas but since then, they have changed that program to "Academic Foundations" because of the overwhelming demand for biology courses needed for nursing. There is a long waitlist for biology courses at Douglas, but I'm pretty sure there's a waitlist at Langara too. I believe Langara's program is only five courses before you can apply to Langara, whereas Douglas's program is ten courses before you can apply to Douglas. Douglas requires pathophysiology and microbiology courses, which are not in Langara's five course program. In my opinion, both foundations programs are pretty similar. It depends on which school you want to do your nursing. Douglas nursing admission is by date that you complete the foundations program; Langara nursing admission is by GPA only. Hope this helps.
