Designed to prepare foreign-trained nurses to challenge the CPNRE, to obtain their Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) certification, one of the most highly-valued credentials in the health services industry today.

The program consists of 14 courses. It can be completed in 6 months, over 795 hours of classroom theory and practice experience.

Students will review entry level competencies identified by the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of British Columbia (CLPNBC), the Canadian health services system, health history and assessment procedures, pharmacology, and clinical judgment.

In addition, activities are planned that will enhance the students' understanding of cultural diversity and the significance of problem-solving and critical thinking in today's Canadian health care service provision environments.

Special emphasis is on Canadian test taking standards to prepare you to successfully complete the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam (CPNRE).
