My Transition Plan

Tessa Herzke
 For my post-
secondary school, I
chose KPU.

The program I
would like to take
is bachelor of
science in nursing.
Kwantlen Polytechnic
University
. . .. . .. . .. .
KPU has 5 locations
across BC and is
amongst the top ten
secondary schools
in BC.
KPU is Canada’s only polytechnic
university and they focus on
hands-on skills in addition to
traditional academics.
 Why it’s a good fit
for me...

- Trustworthy school

- They offer a great nursing

program
 Why it’s a good fit for me...

- Close to home

- Looks good on your resume

 Why it’s a good for
me...

- Supports/accepts everyone no matter

About the
program...

Bachelor of
Science in Nursing
 Bachelor of Science
in Nursing
The BSN course at KPU
takes 4 years to complete
and has about 5 courses in
each semester. The cost
of the course would be
around $20,000 for the
full 4 years.
I believe the program is a great fit
for me because I am very passionate
about helping people, I like fast paced
environments and I really like kids.

This program can help set me up for

a career with kids or babies (I could
specialize as a pediatrics nurse or an
ob gyn nurse).
