Now that you’ve graduated from Vancouver Career College's Health
Care Assistant program and have worked for a few years, are you
starting to consider advancement opportunities in your career? Vancouver Career
College offers an
accelerated version of the Practical
Nursing program for our Health Care Assistant graduates:
Practical
Nursing Access.
The Government of Canada projects the most growth in the healthcare industry
due to the increasing aging population and as such, most job openings will stem
from retiring professionals. With a shorter program length, a $3,500 tuition
scholarship**, and no waitlists, students
can focus on their studies and become job-ready sooner to help meet the
country’s increasing demand.
We train our students to become vital members
of the healthcare profession. Other than textbook knowledge, our school also
trains our students to deliver patient-centered care that encompasses a wide
range of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and critical thinking skills. As part
of the program, students will have the opportunity to put theory into practice
in clinical placements in various settings such as complex care and assisted
living facilities.
Vancouver Career College delivers exceptional training
through a combination of classroom theory and hands-on training, all of which
are reflected in our students’ outstanding results. Our graduates have repeatedly achieved a 100% passing rate
on the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination (CPNRE), a mandatory exam that ensures
that entry-level practical nurse possesses the competencies required to
practice safely and effectively in accordance with each province or territory’s
regulations.
Practical nurses in British Columbia earn a median wage
of $25.76/hr* and can work in both
public and private sectors. Start your training today to become a part of this
rewarding field.
