Why this course will help you?

So that you never say "I wish I knew"

UNIVERSITY HAS BECOME ABOUT MORE THAN JUST THE DEGREE & HERE'S WHY

  • Did you know applications for summer internships in university can close as early as September - less than one month into your first year of university – requiring your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn, & other career tools to be ready?

 

  • Or that applying for club experience within your first two weeks can increase your chances significantly of getting a position in your field in your first year of university?

 

  • How about that you may have only three evaluations that make up an entire course grade, making it that much more important to have strong study methods from the start? 

 

  • Or did you know some lectures can be of 300 people in size or more, making learning much more self-guided and textbook heavy than in high school?

 

  • And finally, do you truly know what you're going to learn in your program and if you'll like it?


Many students realize, only once they're in university, what they should have done to understand their program better and be prepared academically and professionally before entering university. How they could have avoided a drop in grades, acquired more scholarships, not had to have switched programs because they didn't like what they chose, or have been able to secure an internship in their first year!


Don't worry - we have designed a solution! Enroll now and avoid the struggles the university students of today face! Show up on your first day feeling confident you have chosen the right program, and are ready to succeed in it, professionally & academically!

This course is a highly beneficial tool for students looking to pursue a career in nursing studies. It provides a thorough overview of the nursing curriculum and general program structure, tips and tricks for success throughout a nursing degree, as well as additional resources such as resumes and placement recruiting techniques.

This course summarizes the nursing curriculum including requires courses and the program pathway, testing and study methods, exams pre and post degree completion, career opportunities and program specializations, as well as networking and job search tips. It’s highly informative and insightful, and I highly recommend high school students interesting nursing take the course.
