The program is delivered over 16 months and leads to a diploma as a PN graduate. Graduates are required to write the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination.
This program is designed to prepare practical nurses who are effective care-givers, client advocates, therapeutic communicators, collaborative team members and acceptable practitioners.
