Overview

Get career ready at one of these three campuses: Cold Lake, Lac La Biche or St. Paul. This program emphasizes collaboration, health promotion, and family-centered nursing. Students will be equipped with the skills and knowledge required to work in a wide variety of health care settings, both rural and urban. Enthusiastic, experienced instructors focus on building students' competency in nursing practice through imaginative, innovative classroom and lab experiences. Graduates will 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 via blended delivery with some classes and all labs being offered in person, and some classes being offered online. Students in the first semester of their program can expect the majority of their classes to be online with in-person labs and exams. As the Practical Nursing Diploma has an enrollment limit, the College reserves the right to employ academic rating scales for admission purposes. Applicants will be sent an offer if their overall GPA as assessed with the required admissions courses is at or above the annual competitive GPA. Offers would be sent out once a student had submitted all required documents and a GPA could be assessed. For applicants who meet requirements but do not meet the competitive GPA their application will be placed on a competitive waitlist and offers may be sent based on GPA and seat availability. Please Note: This program is eligible for post-graduate work permit (PGWP).
