Our program emphasizes collaboration, health promotion, and family-centered nursing. You will be equipped with the skills and knowledge required to work in a wide variety of health care settings, both rural and urban. Our enthusiastic, experienced instructors focus on building your competency in nursing practice through imaginative, innovative classroom and lab experiences. As a graduate, you'll be eligible to write the national licensing examination administered through the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA).
This two-year diploma program is delivered in two formats: onsite and blended delivery. Returning second-year students will be on-site as much as possible to take part in labs. First-year students will take theory classes online and will be on-site in the fall semester. |
