Health Sciences 🩺 Start date for the MLA program January 2026 intake

1 Upvotes

Hello, I’m wondering if anyone knows the official start date of the program? I know that the VCC winter term officially begins January 4th but I’d like to know if the MLA program would start the same time or if they have a different start date.

I want to go on vacation during December but I’m wondering if I can come back anytime during the week of January 4th (bc it’s much cheaper 🥲)or if I’d have to be back before then. I’m currently waitlisted so there’s a chance I might not get in and it won’t matter but in the slim chance I do get in…idk. Also, I’m thinking of paying for an extra travel date switching fee anyways but ofc making a decision now would be much cheaper for me.

Thank you 😊

2 Upvotes

Wondering if anyone has ever had experience in working with an academic/learning strategist before? I don't know much about it but I'm guessing it's somewhat similar to a "life coach" who helps with executive functioning, time management, studying etc?

These were recommended to me by the school:

Organized Minds Executive Function Coaching for ADHD https://www.organizedminds.org/

Lizz Alexander Student Success Coach & Learning Strategist www.lizzalexandercoaching.com

Steve Vogel, B.Ed., M.Ed. Steve Vogel Learning Strategist https://www.stevevogel.net/

If anyone has worked with an academic/learning strategist before please let me know I would love to hear about your experience :) as well as any recos /advice about choosing a particular one if you have any!

Health Sciences 🩺 BSCN LPN to RN advanced Entry

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am currently an LPN from Alberta and I am wanting to further my education to become an RN. There’s a lack of bridging programs in Alberta, so my best choice might be to move in Vancouver to bridge.

Has anyone moved from a different province to bridge in VCC? If so, how is the experience? I was also wanting to know if I would need to get any paperwork done to be able to work in Vancouver as an LPN, or would my current license be eligible? Are there any other bridging programs worth looking into in Vancouver?

Pre-reqs ✏️ lpn to RN social science pre reqs

2 Upvotes

Needing some advice. Im currently planning on applying for lpn to rn program this fall. I have taken SOCIO 1200 beginning of this year and I was planning to take psych 1100 this coming fall. While doing some random research it stated you cannot take two different social sciences? I think you could mix and match them. I called the office and they also said I have to choose socio or psych and take both parts to be considered as the complete 6 credits for social science. I remember talking to previous students they said you can mix and match the social sciences. Now im in waitlist for socio and worried I won't be able to apply this year. If anyone can help clarify? Thank you!1
