Access to Practical Nursing Diploma

About this programme

This program prepares graduates with the knowledge, skills, judgments, and attitudes to perform to the full range of competencies as identified by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM). The curriculum provides a learning experience that is integrated, professional, collaborative, and culturally sensitive with an aim to prepare graduates to care for individuals (and by extension, families of individuals) at multiple life stages and in a variety of practice settings. Consistent with the BCCNM Entry Level Competencies for Licensed Practical Nurses, the focus for beginner’s practice is care of clients with less complex and more predictable outcomes (p. 5). Additionally, upon successful completion of the program, graduates will possess the competencies to successfully complete the Regulatory Exam-Practical Nurse (REx-PN). *Students who do not meet the immunization requirments may be prohibited from attending Practicum experiences depending upon particular Health Authority policy, or Practicum site agency policy.
