Diploma em Enfermagem Prática

Our Practical Nursing program follows the B.C. provincial curriculum and is approved by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM). The theory is delivered in a hybrid format that combines online and in-class delivery. In addition, students receive 23 weeks of hands-on experience in our state-of-the-art nursing labs and clinical placements.

You will be taught by working Nurse Educators who are committed to your success. The curriculum focuses on the competencies that are required to successfully complete the Regulatory Exam – Practical Nurse (REx-PN), previously the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination (CPNRE). There are 79 entry-level competencies, organized into five categories: 1) professional practice, 2) legal practice, 3) ethical practice, 4) foundations of practice, and 5) collaborative practice.

Since 1990, Stenberg College has prepared students for caring careers in the health care and human services fields. Our main campus is located in Surrey, British Columbia, a suburb of Vancouver, and B.C.’s second largest municipality.

We are accredited by the B.C. government’s Ministry of Advanced Education through the Private Training Institutions Branch (PTIB).

Stenberg College has also received the B.C. government’s Education Quality Assurance (EQA) designation, which is B.C.’s official recognition of quality post-secondary education for both public and private institutions. We are also authorized by EduCanada, the official Government of Canada resource for international students.
