The Practical Nurse Diploma - Internationally Educated Nurses and Refresher Stream emphasizes hands-on learning and prepares graduates to be work ready while providing high-quality nursing care. This program offers learners recognition of prior learning and professional practice while updating your knowledge and skills to meet the current College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA) practice standards and licensure requirements.

This advanced standing program is delivered in-class, blended, and online during the daytime and/or evenings at our downtown Calgary campus. Knowledge and experience are gained through learning theory, lab setting, and a variety of care facilities throughout the program. Applicants must have prior international Registered Nurse (RN) licensure or proof of prior Canadian Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Registered Nurse (RN), or Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN) licensure.
