To pursue a nursing career in Canada, internationally educated nurses (IENs) must work with provincial nursing regulatory bodies. Though rewarding, this journey involves complex steps that may feel daunting. That's why we created the Post-Graduate Diploma in Canadian Nursing - to simplify the process and equip you with essential competencies. Our program acknowledges IENs' prior education while addressing transition challenges, providing the knowledge and skills needed for safe, ethical practice in Canada's healthcare system. To accelerate your entry into the workforce, the initial 19-week phase qualifies you to work as a Health Care Assistant, followed by a paid 10-week co-op placement that jumpstarts your career.
