Program Summary:
The program of study for Diploma Registered Practical Nurses prepares students for practice as Registered Nurses.
It builds on the knowledge and skills acquired in the diploma practical nursing program. Students receive 30 units of advanced credit and enter at Level II. The 2 Level II ‘nursing’ courses are designed to assist students in transitioning to the baccalaureate program. Both streams are integrated for most courses. The curriculum is planned for 3 years of full-time study. Students are allowed six years after the first ‘nursing’ course to complete the program requirements.
Graduates will be awarded the BScN degree by McMaster University.
