I'm currently taking BIO 12 and Chem 11 for my high school pre-reqs to get into any Nursing schools in my area (Surrey, BC Canada). I still need to take Math 11 and ENG 12 and if i don't get B on BIO 12 i also need to retake that. My question would be is there a College/Uni AROUND MY AREA that i can go into and just take their courses without having any High school pre-requisite and be able to get into their nursing program without a competitive grade or a LONG wait list? I'm looking for a pre-nursing program or kind of like that without me needing to take high school courses again. This is my background story. It's your choice whether you read it or not. I'm 20 years old and I'm getting quite sad and desperate because I really want to go back to school again. I already finished my Health Care Assistant program at KPU and already has over 1 year work experience as a HCA @ Delta View. I've been looking online for schools that offers an "easy" way in to get into RN but as far as i know my only hopes would be VCC which has aprox 2 years of wait list, which i don' think will start ticking after i finished up their courses 1st. Also when i checked the courses i needed to take it seems like i have todo those for 2 semesters, but i dont know if i would need my High school courses before i can start those. This would mean that i would need atleast a whole year or more if ever i fail some courses finish up just their pre-reqs. And another 2 or so more years which is really what frustrates me. But when i look at other schools like Langara or even Kwantlen they are even worst because it is base solely on grades which i for sure not good at. I was never been an academic type of person. My usual grade would be around 70-78% for any academic courses Ive taken. I know i sound lazy and self centered, but i know my limits and i just want an average school that doesn't need me to basically kill my self trying to study. Also if you think the best way is to go into either LPN/RPN 1st tell me why and give me details if possible. I know in the end its all my fault for not trying harder during my high school days. I regret that even now but past is past all i can do now is move on but i need a little bit of help and this is that HELP i need! Thank you for being considerate/inconsiderate this will serve me a huge lesson that will hopefully be ingrained on me and will also hopefully help me in my future.
