Thanks to Northern College’s two-year Practical Nursing diploma, you’ll be ready to start the healthcare career you’ve always dreamed of.
You’ll learn about the diagnostic process and the role of education in promoting health and wellness. You’ll hone your communication and leadership skills.
And – from minor scrapes to complex health challenges, and even palliative care – you’ll gradually develop a holistic approach to nursing, and the capacity to provide care and comfort to patients with varying conditions at all stages of life.
At every step along the way, you’ll practice new skills within the state-of-the-art training facility. And you’ll top it all off with an eight-week placement that marks the official start of your career as a caring and competent practitioner.
Practical Nursing is a 2-year (4 semesters) program leading to an Ontario college diploma in Practical Nursing.

Northern College delivers the current diploma program standards that meet the national Entry to Practice Competencies to prepare graduates for the Regulatory Exam – Practical Nurse (REx-PN).
Northern’s Practical Nursing program holds as its philosophy a set of beliefs and values based on five key concepts: the client, health, caring, nursing, and the role that teaching and learning play in enabling individuals and their families and groups to achieve health outcomes.
Registered Practical Nurses work with individuals, families and groups to plan, implement, and evaluate outcomes-based nursing care, services and programs that promote health and rehabilitation, prevent injury and disease, maintain and restore health, and provide palliation.
