Overview

The College Diploma in Practical Nursing (H118) is a comprehensive healthcare program that prepares students to become Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) and provide safe, competent, and compassionate nursing care in a variety of healthcare settings. The program combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on clinical experience, covering key areas such as anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, nursing theory, health assessment, medical-surgical nursing, mental health, and community care. Students learn to care for individuals across the lifespan, including patients with acute and chronic health conditions. A major component of the program is clinical placements, where students gain real-world experience in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and community settings under professional supervision. These placements help develop practical skills, clinical judgment, and patient communication. Graduates are eligible to write the licensing exam to become a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) (requirements vary by province/state and regulatory body). Career opportunities include working in hospitals, clinics, long-term care homes, rehabilitation centers, and community health organizations. Overall, this program is ideal for students interested in a hands-on healthcare career, focused on patient care, teamwork, and making a direct impact on people’s health and well-being.
