Description:

Graduate in just two years in this accelerated program. The curriculum is designed to strengthen theory with concurrent practical experience in our modern labs using high tech, high touch simulation tools. This program offers a pathway to Trent University's Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

During the five semesters in the Practical Nursing program, you will learn the concepts and skills related to health and nursing. You will also learn nursing practices and interventions in specific health situations. In addition, you will have the opportunity to study courses such as anatomy and physiology, communication, clinical nursing informatics and practice nursing skills in both the nursing and simulation lab. After successfully completing this diploma program, graduates are eligible to write the national examinations with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) and become registered to practice in Ontario as a Registered Practical Nurse.
