To prepare professional practical nurses in providing high-quality care to people in need, NorQuest College has announced a new opportunity for internationally educated nurses to take its Practical Nurse Diploma program.
Especially at a time of a worldwide public health crisis, the institution has been laying the groundwork from nurses’ previous education and experiences in various health care settings to comprehensive learning on Canadian health care and professional communication and language proficiency all at once.
Key Takeaways:
- NorQuest College announced a two-year diploma program for internationally educated nurses.
- NorQuest’s Practical Nurse Diploma program will be held in Edmonton, focusing on labs, workshops, collaborative sessions, and innovative learning opportunities.
Designed for graduates of a Bachelor of Nursing program outside of Canada, NorQuest’s Practical Nurse Diploma for Internationally Educated Nurses is a two-year diploma program to set nurses up for success in both academic and professional endeavors.
In this program, nurses will be exposed to clinical judgment, nursing knowledge, and communication skills that will land them a Canadian career as practical nurses—all taught by experienced practical nurse instructors and language training instructors.
As practical nurses, they are expected to function effectively in stressful situations, perform all skills independently, and provide care to support people of various diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, gender identities, sexual preferences, and socioeconomic statuses.
NorQuest College underscores the program design being target-driven and student-centered. To prepare nurses for practicum and writing the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination, this two-year program will immerse nurses in labs, workshops, collaborative sessions, and innovative learning opportunities.
The nurses’ practicum may be arranged within or close to the student’s community. It will follow the preceptor’s schedule and may include day, evening, or night shifts any day of the week, including weekends and holidays.
