Diploma in Practical Nursing (Flexible)

Program Overview

The Practical Nursing - Flexible program at Centennial College will offer you in-depth knowledge, skills and judgement required in today's complex health care environment.


Curriculum in this Practical Nursing - Flexible program is based on the:

  • College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) Practice Standards and Guidelines
  • National Entry to Practice Competencies for Registered Practical Nurses (updated 2020)
  • Practical Nursing Program Standard for Ontario Practical Nursing programs (Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development)


The Practical Nursing program meets the competencies that reflect the evolving and expanding role of the practical nurse as provided by the Nursing Act and the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA). These competencies will include learning to provide safe, competent and ethical care using resources and technologies for an increasingly complex client population. The Practical Nursing program will also serve as preparation to practice autonomously in a variety of settings.


Note: The Practical Nurse Diploma program at Centennial College is currently approved (Category 1) by the College of Nurses of Ontario. Current graduates from this program are eligible to apply for registration as Registered Practical Nurses in Ontario. 


Program Highlights

  • Practical Nursing program faculty members have extensive clinical and in-classroom teaching expertise.
  • Classroom instruction will be supplemented by independent study, multimedia support and ongoing clinical experience.
  • Some courses in the program will be delivered through a combination of classroom and online instruction (blended courses).
  • Small group instruction in clinical and laboratory setting will utilize the latest technology, such as computerized simulation.
  • The School of Community and Health Studies' nursing lab recreates an actual hospital floor, complete with nursing stations and operating room facilities.
  • You'll gain the edge over the competition by working within the advanced clinical simulation facilities and using highly realistic computerized "patients".
  • The program will allow you to immerse yourself in the nursing field through a variety of acute, rehabilitation and long-term care agencies with industry-leading health care providers.
  • Effective January 4, 2022 all graduates of Practical Nursing programs within Ontario will be required to take the new REx-PN Registration Exam.
