Centennial College Practical Nursing Program

  • 14 years ago
The newest skills in practical nursing are the focus of this program. We've responded to the current realities of the health care system by talking to numerous health care professionals and administrators. The need for practical nurses (RPNs) has never been stronger.

Opportunities for practical nurses are increasing in acute care community-based and long-term care settings, clinics and physicians' offices. Over 50 per cent of RPNs are still employed in traditional jobs in hospitals. Canadian government projections suggest that there can be no down-sizing of caregivers tending to people in need of medical attention due to our aging population.

Practical nurses will continue to find rewarding opportunities as key members of a multidisciplinary health care team.
