Length: 2 years
This program prepares students for offering nursing care and services to a varied clientele. These healthcare professionals work in hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centres, medical clinics as well as home healthcare agencies.
Collège de l'Île has two campuses: in Wellington (western area of PEI) and in Charlottetown (the provincial capital). Regular programming is offered in both campuses. We use videoconferencing, and more specifically the Vidyo system, to offer courses in all our programs. For the Practical Nursing program, the nursing laboratory is located in Wellington. If you are taking theoretical courses at the Charlottetown campus, you will need to travel by your own means to the Wellington campus for your laboratory work.
