@EducationVids666 Do some research, requirements vary with the school, don't be afraid to go out of state/province.

[lady4416]

@EducationVids666 In competitive programs like nursing often the minimum GPA for entry is higher then their cutoff and that's because they will admit students with the highest marks first until all of the positions are filled. Occasionally students can get in with the min requirements if they have experience in the field, so you may want to think about volunteering at a hospital. Also, be aware that if you don't meet the minimum cutoffs your application won't even be considered.

@EducationVids666 yes, you have a chance if you can get good grades in related subjects in college or university (e.g. prove that you can do biology at a college level). Schools will value higher education as being a more accurate assessment of your abilities. The reason minimum entry requirements exist is because the school wants to be certain that you are capable of handling the course load.

I love the medical field  - money isn't my reason. Great add on tho!

i agree with job security..this career is definately recession proof! its not for everyone..very physically and emotionally draining..not everyone is cut out for this job.. burn out is easy if u dont balance your life
