In only two years, you can become a valued member of the health care team as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), and experience a rewarding career providing patient care. LPNs advocate for clients related to all areas of practice including human, physical, and financial resources necessary to provide safe, quality nursing care. Please Note: The diploma in practical nursing is a competitive entry program. Meeting minimum published admission averages does not guarantee admission.
This program is offered at our Brooks Campus. Throughout the program, learning involves both classroom and laboratory activities, as well as instructor and preceptor supervised clinical experiences. Classes and laboratory experiences are provided at the Brooks Campus, however, you will be required to travel to other parts of the region for clinical and practical learning experiences. Graduates of the program are eligible for licensure through the College of Licensed Practical Nurses upon payment of a fee and successfully passing the national practical nurse examination (Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam or CPNRE).
