Nursing Access for Practical Nurses

Program Suspended

The Certificate in Nursing Access for Practical Nurses program has been suspended and applications are no longer being accepted.

We thank you for your patience as we continue to develop a program that meets the current demands of industry, while also seeking opportunities to reach out to a broader demographic of learner.

Credit for your experience

As a BC Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), you already have valuable nursing knowledge and practical experience. If you've decided to transition into a Registered Nursing role, this program will help you gain advanced placement into the Camosun/University of Victoria nursing program.

What you'll learn

In this four-month access program, you'll take a combination of university transfer and nursing courses. You'll then be eligible to transfer into the second year (third semester) of the nursing program at Camosun. You'll learn about the role of the registered nurse, develop your critical communication skills and integrate nursing knowledge and theory.
