Overview

Humber’s Practical Nursing diploma program provides the skills and knowledge needed to become a registered practical nurse (RPN).

Humber is the only English speaking college in Ontario with access to an on-campus cadaver lab for nursing students. Combine that with small class sizes, leading-edge simulation labs, bioscience and anatomy labs, and extensive clinical work placement opportunities — Humber students have the competitive edge.

Professional and Community Partnerships

Humber maintains strong partnerships with many reputable health care agencies and facilities, including:

  • Extendicare
  • Humber River Regional Hospital
  • Toronto Homes for the Aged
  • Trillium Health Center
  • William Osler Health Center
  • Numerous other Toronto nursing homes and community agencies

Work Placement

You will participate in a total of 1,038 hours of unpaid clinical placements over the course of the program which take place over each semester and give you valuable hands-on experience. The school arranges and communicates with all placements.

Throughout the first year of the program, you will participate in a unique community-service learning placement in a variety of community settings. In Semester 2, you will work in a long-term care setting, while Semester 3 takes place in rehabilitation, complex or acute-care settings. In Semester 2 and 3, you will also participate in clinical simulation and/or Stilwell (a virtual learning community designed to represent a typical Canadian neighbourhood). In Semester 4, you will complete a preceptored (one-on-one placement alongside a registered practical nurse) pre-graduate clinical practice.

Career opportunities

Graduates will be able to work in various health-care settings including:

  • acute-care hospitals
  • clinics and public health units
  • community nursing agencies and services
  • homes for the aging and long-term care facilities
  • private practices
  • psychiatry
  • rehabilitation services
  • schools and child-care centres

Many of the graduates go on to complete postgraduate advanced-skills education used in specialty disciplines such as surgery, dialysis, cardiology and emergency.
