Description:

The Indigenous Practical Nursing (IPN) program is a full time two year diploma program. It will prepare you to become a culturally responsive and professional care provider- with an understanding of western and Indigenous approaches to health and wellness. Classroom, technologically enhanced lab, and practicum activities will help you to develop the skills needed to make a positive difference in the health and well-being of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations. This program is delivered at SIIT’s Saskatoon Campus location.



Upon successful completion of SIIT’s Indigenous Practical Nursing diploma program and the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam (CPNRE), graduates will be eligible for licensure with the Saskatchewan Association of Licensed Practical Nurses (SALPN). As a Licensed Practical Nurse (NOC 3233), the IPN graduate will provide care to individuals, families and communities at multiple life stages and in a variety of practice settings. Most employers require criminal record and vulnerable sector checks.
