Practical Nursing (Flexible)

The Practical Nursing - Flexible program at Centennial College will offer you in-depth knowledge, skills and judgement required in today's complex health care environment.

Curriculum in this Practical Nursing - Flexible program is based on the:

• College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) Practice Standards and Guidelines
• National Entry to Practice Competencies for Registered Practical Nurses (updated 2020)
• Practical Nursing Program Standard for Ontario Practical Nursing programs (Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development)

The Practical Nursing program meets the competencies that reflect the evolving and expanding role of the practical nurse as provided by the Nursing Act and the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA). These competencies will include learning to provide safe, competent and ethical care using resources and technologies for an increasingly complex client population. The Practical Nursing program will also serve as preparation to practice autonomously in a variety of settings.
