Trying1

Thank you BlackBee. That's the problem. Not sure how to do the process. There is no standard process for internationally educated. Some need WES, some ask for IQAS, and some do their own evaluations. And it is hard for me to get documents from my international universities to send it to canadian universities. I will slowly try to do all and will apply for admissions. Hopefully I will get into a program where I will be successful Thank you so much

Thank you Fiona59. I will try to apply for both PN and BSN and hopefully they will let me know what courses I need to retake or improve on. So, that I can start the process Thank you

Thank you so much BlackBee and Dishes, I will try to apply for both PN and BSN program. Will see what responses I get. Hopefully, if they reject, they will at least let me know why they rejected. So, that I can improve on those courses before applying again. I think only by applying for admission, I would know if I need to more courses or not. Still trying to learn canadian admission system and requirements. Also, which university did you attend for BSN program? And, did you work in between studies? Thank you so much

Hi, But do they check without applying for admission? Thank you

Hi, Any idea about Alberta LPN nursing courses? Are they competitive? Thank you

Hi, Thank you for the reply. I did WES which converts foreign marks to canadian gpa system. How do I know if they will exempt me from taking pre-health courses? Since I did not go to school here, I am not able to go to any school advisor for assistance on which courses I should take or not do. Will you all be able to let me know if there is advisor that I can pay them and they can check my international courses and let me know which courses I should be taking to get into RPN or RN program? Thats the part I am confused about. Once I learn that these are the courses I need to take and the gpa needed, then I will be able to decide if I should aim for RN or RPN program. I understand that RPN and RN programs are competitive. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and for your advices.

Hi loriangel14, Thank you So is it better for me to go for LPN/RPN program rather than doing pre requisites? Or it will be difficult to get in LPN/RPN program also?

Hi dishes, Thank you for your reply I am doing a job that gives me income for now. So, which route will be better for me? Do RPN and then bridging OR work on pre requisites and then apply for RN?

Hi loriangel14, Thank you for your reply Since my gpa is low, is it better to do RPN and then do bridging? I am worried after doing RPN, if I will have good gpa to continue with RN program. Or is it better to spend one year working on pre requisites and then apply for RN program? I am worried with this route, I would not have income and also if I don't do well on my pre requisites, I will be wasting my time and money.

Hi, I am around age 30. I did my secondary school and 4 year post secondary education in health field outside north america. Finished my post secondary education in 2011. I would like to become RN. My gpa in post secondary education is around 3. Which will be fastest way to become an RN? Which way will be easiest to get admission? I am willing to study anywhere in Canada where it is easy to get admission and where the program won't be so tough Option 1 = Doing LPN/RPN and then do bridging through Athabasca etc? Do I need to take pre health courses or HOEA, etc to get admission into LPN/RPN program in canada? Option 2 = Or go directly to BScN 4 years? Since I have post secondary education, is it easy to get admission to BScN? Or do I need to take some courses as my gpa is only around 3 Any feedback will be helpful. I am willing to work very hard. Currently working in Alberta Thank you so much
