What should I do while I'm waiting on the nursing program?

Published

Hey guys! I need some advice ?

Here's my plan: I'm retaking my MATH 1111 and ENGL 1100 this Fall at VCC and if things go according to plan my GPA should get boosted to 3.42 or even better, 3.48. On October, I will reapply at Langara for the Fall 2020 semester and hopefully submit a new transcript in January.

After talking it through with my parents, I decided to apply at KPU's Health Care Assistant program that's starting on Spring 2020. I think the program lasts for 6 months. I want to study something else while I'm waitlisted at Langara's BSN program (which I'm pretty sure I will be waitlisted at least because I heard the Fall semester is harder to get into). Reapply for Spring 2021 if I don't get accepted off the waitlist and while I'm waiting on that I would hopefully be working at a hospital as HCA for like 6 months. Do you think I will be wasting my time and money? Should I just wait for BSN program and not enter the HCA program?

My dad has advised me to keep my options open just in case this nursing plan doesn't work out so I'm very confused..

You should check if going through the HCA will help you get into the BSN program. Personally I believe the experience you will gain will not be a waste of time or money.

You said you want to study something else while on the waitlist. What is it that you want to study?
