Northern Lights College

Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada

Practical Nursing Diploma

The Diploma in Practical Nursing at Northern Lights College follows the current provincial curriculum as revised in 2017. The program is designed to provide learners with the knowledge, skills, judgments, and attitudes to perform to the full range of competencies as endorsed by the British Columbia College of Nursing & 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 families of individuals) at multiple life stages and in a variety of practice settings.

Consistent with the BCCNM Scope of Practice: Standards, Limits and Conditions (2021), the focus for beginners’ practice is “promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health, with a focus on clients with stable and predictable states of health.”

Upon successful completion of the program, learners will possess the competencies to successfully complete the Regulatory Exam – Practical Nurse (REx-PN).

Students in this program have an average of 28 hours of classes, laboratories, and other learning activities per week. A comparable number of individual study hours is required. Further, in clinical learning situations, students will be in close contact with individuals who have various health issues. For these reasons, students should be at a satisfactory level of physical and emotional health to ensure success in the program.
