There are several exciting areas where you can provide care as a Practical Nurse. Some areas include child care, maternity nursing, community health, mental wellness, seniors care, and medicine. You can start this program in the winter, spring or fall terms. A duration of five terms or a longer nine term option is offered to provide you time to focus on nursing content and allows for consolidation of learning. Knowledge and experience is gained through the classroom, online courses, lab setting, and a variety of care facilities throughout the program. |
| Additional Admission Requirements: | Bow Valley College requires that Practical Nurse learners have a current Police Information Check (PIC). Applicants must also have up-to-date immunizations. As clinical experiences require learners to travel to various locations in Calgary and surrounding communities, accessibility to transportation is advisable. Due to the popularity of this program, it is recommended to apply at least twelve months prior to the program start date. |
