Overview
The Practical Nursing (S121) program teaches students the knowledge and skills required to enter the profession of practical nursing. This two-year diploma program has been designed to meet the new entry-to-practice requirements adopted by the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) and program standards set by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities.
Classes and labs are held at the Daphne Cockwell Centre for Health Sciences located at our Waterfront Campus and are scheduled between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday. Clinical placement experiences are conducted under direct faculty supervision within varied patient care settings across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Students may participate in placements requiring extended shifts that include evening and weekend hours.
The Practical Nursing program at George Brown College is approved by the College of Nurses of Ontario (www.cno.org). Graduates who meet the CNO requirements after passing the qualifying examinations are eligible to apply for registration as a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) in Ontario.
