Overview

Diploma - Practical Nursing

Humber’s Practical Nursing diploma program provides the skills and knowledge needed to become a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN).

The curriculum includes both nursing theory and practice and topics such as anatomy, physiology, ethics, pharmacotherapeutics, patient safety and leadership concepts.

Humber is the only English-speaking college in Ontario with access to an on-campus cadaver lab for nursing students. 

Combine that with small class sizes, leading-edge simulation labs, bioscience and anatomy labs, and extensive clinical work placement opportunities - Humber students have the competitive edge.

Work Placement

You will participate in a total of 1,038 hours of unpaid clinical placements in each semester over the course of the program giving you valuable hands-on experience.

Throughout the first year of the program, you will participate in a unique community-service learning placement in a variety of community settings. 

In Semester 2, you will work in a long-term care setting, while Semester 3 takes place in rehabilitation, complex or acute-care settings. In Semesters 2 and 3, you will also participate in clinical simulation activities. 

In Semester 4, you will complete a preceptor (one-on-one placement alongside a Registered Practical Nurse) pre-graduate clinical practice.
