About the course

Becoming a nurse in Canada requires internationally educated nurses (IENs) to navigate the nursing regulatory bodies. While the outcome is certainly worth the effort, the steps can become complicated and at times, overwhelming. This is why we developed the Post-Graduate Diploma in Canadian Nursing, to help guide you through the processes and prepare you to meet the entry-level competencies. The Post-Graduate Diploma in Canadian Nursing with Co-op respects the education and experience of IENs but also recognizes the challenges. It will prepare you with the requisite knowledge and skills to practice safe, ethical and competent care in the Canadian health care setting. To transition IENs into the Canadian health care setting as quickly as possible, the first 19 weeks of the program prepares you to register and work as a Health Care Assistant. Your first paid, 10-week cooperative work experience sets you up for success. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
