| Humber's Practical Nursing program provides the knowledge and practical experience necessary to become a registered practical nurse. You will be given the opportunity to continually practice in Humber's state-of-the-art health sciences and bioscience laboratories. As well, direct clinical practice and simulated laboratory experiences occur throughout the program.
Graduates of this program may write the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination (CPNRE) in Ontario. The Practical Nursing diploma program is approved by the College of Nurses of Ontario. Those wishing to register with the College of Nurses of Ontario will be required to sign a declaration.
Students can choose between full-time or part-time studies. Full-time students complete the program in two calendar years; part-time students complete the program in three years and four months (courses occur in the evening hours and clinical rotations on Sundays and Mondays).
Field/Clinical Placement
The unpaid work placements, which take place every semester, are key to this program. The school handles all placements. Semester two occurs in long-term care settings for two days each week. Semester three takes place in rehabilitation, complex care, or psychiatry settings. In semester four, students go out to doctor's offices, walk-in-clinics, out-patient clinics, day care, and elementary school settings. Following this, students complete 495 hours of preceptorship in an appropriate clinical setting.
