Diploma Practical Nursing Program Coordinator Sheri McPhee says they are offering a two year diploma practical nursing program through University College of the North training students to be LPNs. She explains they’re taking applications from just about anybody, the registration deadline is May 1st, they are looking for grade 12 grads ages undetermined, you may be in grade 12 right now, you may have been in grade 12 ten years ago so you want to head to their website ucn.ca to see a list of the qualification they need, and they do require some averages from your transcripts so 60 percent in Math, Science and English.
The application deadline is May 1st online at www.ucn.ca and the training will start just after Labor Day. McPhee notes the program is new this year but they have received funding from the government so they will be doing a yearly intake.
