Collège Boréal to offer Practical Nursing program in Hearst, Kapuskasing, Nipissing and Windsor
Widening this program’s reach bolsters Boréal’s position as a leader in healthcare training. The Practical Nursing program, which is already available at Boréal’s Sudbury, Timmins and Toronto campuses, provides aspiring licensed practical nurses with the training they need to enter a rewarding career.
Licensed practical nurses provide care as members of multidisciplinary teams that aim to maintain or restore health and prevent diseases. They accompany people of all ages through their healthcare journey and perform their duties in an ever-changing environment.
New teaching approaches make it possible to offer this two-year training program on all seven of Collège Boréal’s campuses. In every community offering the program, the practical courses, labs and work placements will take place in a face-to-face setting in collaboration with a number of partners in the healthcare sector, while the theory courses will be delivered via Zoom.
“Over the past ten months, our students have often told us that providing our courses through Zoom makes our programs more accessible,” said Lyne Michaud, Vice-President, Academic, of Collège Boréal. “Accessibility is a strategic priority for our college and offering the Practical Nursing program in an alternative mode is a way for us to meet the needs of students.”
