Important note:
The Registered Nurse Diagnosing and Prescribing program will be delivered via two modules and simulation experience that includes a mixed synchronous and asynchronous delivery mode and an in-person lab. Onsite labs are scheduled by the Program Advisor (Evenings). A full-time clinical placement completes the program.
Program Description
The Registered Nurse Diagnosing and Prescribing certificate program is designed for registered nurses (RNs) seeking to advance their knowledge and practice in diagnosing and prescription writing. This certification will walk learners through the theory of prescribing certain medications as set out by the CNO (College of Nurses of Ontario), types of patient assessments and follow ups.
After successful completion of the theory courses, students will move to the clinical placement. This will consist of 150 hours (6 – 12 weeks).
