Program Overview

Become a valued member of the health care team as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and build a rewarding career providing patient care and advocacy. Please Note: The diploma in practical nursing is a competitive entry program. Meeting minimum published admission averages does not guarantee admission.

LPNs are professional nurses and work within their own scope of practice, standards of practice and code of ethics. You will study from the same body of nursing knowledge as registered nurses (RNs) and registered psychiatric nurses (RPNs) with a more focused approach in

  • Foundational knowledge,
  • Critical thinking, and
  • Clinical judgment to suit the LPNs role of today.

As an LPN, you will have the skills and abilities to contribute in all phases of the continuum of care from prevention to acute treatment and management, to long term and palliative care.

Offered at our Brooks Campus, this programs involves classroom learning and laboratory activities, as well as instructor and preceptor supervised clinical experiences which may require travel to other parts of the region.

Practical Nurse graduates are eligible for licensure through the College of Licensed Practical Nurses upon payment of a fee and successfully passing the national practical nurse examination (Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam or CPNRE).
