Overview

Apply your previous training and experience as a Health Care Assistant (HCA) or Resident Care Attendant (RCA) to accelerate your practical nursing training with the Access to Practical Nursing diploma. Level Access provides the foundation for the development of nursing practice and introduces you to the healthy adult, the older adult and concepts related to aging and chronic illness in various settings. Level three examines a continuum of care in the community health setting and applies concepts from level one, two and three in the management of stable clients across the lifespan. Level four integrates knowledge from previous levels and examines concepts related to the care of the medical/surgical client. Each level is supported by a Consolidated Practice Experience (CPE) which reinforces the learning that has taken place within each level.
