Overview

Curriculum in this Practical Nursing programme from Centennial College is based on the:

College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) Practice Standards and Guidelines

National Entry-to-Practice Competencies for Registered Practical Nurses (updated 2020)

Practical Nursing Programme Standard for Ontario Practical Nursing Programmes (Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development)

The offering also meets competencies that will reflect the evolving and expanding role of the practical nurse as provided by the Nursing Act and the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA). These competencies will include learning to provide safe, competent and ethical care using resources and technologies for an increasingly complex client population. The Practical Nursing programme will also serve as preparation to practice autonomously in a variety of settings.

Programme Highlights

Practical Nursing programme faculty members have extensive clinical and in-classroom teaching expertise.

Classroom instruction will be supplemented by independent study, multimedia support and ongoing clinical experience.

Some courses in the programme will be delivered through a combination of classroom and online instruction (blended courses).

Small group instruction in clinical and laboratory settings will utilize the latest technology, such as computerized simulation.

The School of Community and Health Studies' nursing lab recreates an actual hospital floor, complete with nursing stations and operating room facilities.

You'll gain the edge over the competition by working within the advanced clinical simulation facilities and using highly realistic computerized "patients".
