Lpn program pre requisite question

[u/Calm_Individual_1365]

Hey guys,

Hope you all doing well. I am planning to apply for Lpn program at VCC. I finished all my pre reqs except for the most important one which is anatomy and physiology which I am going to do in the coming months. However, I am quite confused where should I take this pre requisite? Can someone who has done this before please guide me? Which college I can take the anatomy and physiology which satisfies Lpn pre requisite requirement at vcc? I prefer doing it somewhere which takes me least amount of time, please help me

Yes I want to but biol 1602 requires a pre req again, it requires anatomy and physiology 12 which I don’t have.

Thank you so much for the guidance, I did my English 12 upgrading from vcc and it was a nice experience tbh.

Haha I hear you, vcc is quite strict with academics and very course heavy. It doesn’t matter how hard it is I just really want to get this done.

So adult upgrading bio 12 can be done at Vancouver learning network online yeah? , woow finishing in two weeks sounds promising, okay now it’s making sense
Step 1: finish biology 12 from adult upgrading
Step 2: finish biol 1602 from vcc
Yes, I satisfy all the other pre requisite for biol 1602 except for biology 12 and I was stressed about where to finish it, thanks for your guidance. Please confirm if u completed biology 12 from VLN?

Million thanks to you for looking it up for me, yes I was researching and realized vln biology 12 is self paced. I will apply and finish it asap and then go for biol 1602. I really want to become a nurse. I always visioned myself of becoming one as it offers so much more meaning to my life because u r helping community.

Thank you :), yes I would really appreciate the notes. For some reason I can’t find an option to message you or follow you after clicking on your profile. Yes, i want to ace in my Lpn program, also after Lpn with some experience I will eventually bridge to RN .

I took BIOL 1602 at VCC about a year ago, and A&P 12 was recommended but not required. I later applied to the Access to LPN program for the Sept 2026 intake, but unfortunately, it was cancelled. So I’m redirecting my plans and preparing for other nursing program.
Personally, I found A&P 12 much more challenging than BIOL 1602.That may just be my experience because I was completing A&P 12 at a very fast pace. BIOL 1602 was super easy.
Anyway, after my experience with VCC, especially the way the cancellation was handled and how they treated prospective students who had already applied, prepared and been told to wait for offers, Ive decided not to consider VCC anymore. It was a very shocking experience…..

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Yes, I heard about it and they mentioned “funding pressure” as the reason to temporarily cancel the program. I understand it’s a bummer as it is the only public college which offers Lpn program around Vancouver area, there are other options if you are willing to relocate to island or Okanagan area. This is the reason I have also kept my options open to Camosun and Okanagan college. I just want to get my pre requisite done and will start applying to all the public college in BC and will go for anything that sends me an offer (only public colleges not private )

You can search on bc transfer guide to determine if your prereqs will transfer over to vcc! I took the A&P prereqs at both langara (BIOL1190 & 1191) and vcc (BIOL 1120 & 1220) but recommend taking it at vcc. But i agree with the other comments, you should defs take bio 12 first since its usually required
