Loyalist College is celebrating some recent success with their nursing program.
Practical Nursing graduates who wrote the Canadian Practical Nursing Registration exam between July and October were 100 per cent successful according to the post-secondary institution.
All 30 Loyalist candidates scored at or above the provincial and national averages in each category.
June MacDonald-Jenkins, Dean of Health, Human and Justice Studies at Loyalist College says their Practical Nursing students benefit from personalized instruction and real-world methodology taught in their clinical and inter-professional simulation labs, followed by a rigorous eight-week integrated clinical practicum.
The registration exam must be taken in order for a nurse to practice in Ontario.
Over the course of their two-year Ontario College Diploma program, Practical Nursing students are routinely tested. They take a four-hour comprehensive mock-exam, consisting of 200 multiple choice questions, which mimics the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination.
