2 years/4 semesters Fall, Winter Ontario College Diploma Morningside<br />
Hospitals, rehabilitation centres, doctors’ offices, long-term care, and other medical settings employ<br />
practical nurses with in-depth knowledge, skills, and judgement of today’s complex health care<br />
environment. This program’s curriculum is based on College of Nurses of Ontario Practice Standards<br />
and Guidelines, the national Entry-to-Practice Competencies for Registered Practical Nurses<br />
(updated 2020), and the Practical Nursing Program Standard for Ontario Practical Nursing programs<br />
(Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development). Learn to provide safe, competent care to<br />
the patients, communities, and families you will serve. To foster an enriched learning environment,<br />
our onsite nursing lab creates a simulated hospital setting with highly realistic computerized<br />
“patients”, so you graduate completely prepared to go further.<br />
