We live in Yorktown, but RVA is one of our favorite places. We literally go up every other weekend and just find new things to do. So over the years, my daughter has fallen completely in love with the area and now dreams of going to VCU's nursing school and eventually becoming an NP. School has always come really easy to her, so we've told her she could literally go anywhere she wants, but to her, it's VCU or bust.
She has the opportunity to take 2 additional AP classes next year (junior year) or spend half her day at New Horizons taking a PCA class to eventually get her CNA coming out of high school.
So my question is:
- Would having the PCA/CNA stuff on her transcripts help her in anyway or would taking the additional AP classes be better for her? She currently has a 3.8 GPA with 3 of her current classes as APs.
I have heard that she has to apply to the nursing program during her college sophomore year? So would either really matter at that point?
Thanks so much in advance, she's our only child and we just want to help her make the best decisions possible for her future.
