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 competencies endorsed by the British Columbia College of Nursing & Midwives (BCCNM).
The curriculum provides a learning experience that is integrated, professional, collaborative, and culturally sensitive, intending to prepare graduates to care for individuals (and families of individuals) at multiple life stages and in various practice settings.
Consistent with the BCCNM Scope of Practice:
Standards, Limits and Conditions (2021), beginners' practice focuses on the “promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health, with a focus on clients with stable and predictable states of health."
Upon completing the program, learners will possess the competencies to complete the Regulatory Exam - Practical Nurse (REx-PN).
