The Bridging to University Nursing for Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) – Flexible course from Centennial College will feature the same curriculum as the full-time Bridging to University Nursing program, it will also offer fall and winter intakes. The fall intake doesn’t run during the summer, while the winter intake runs three consecutive semesters.
Beginning Fall 2023, all sections of our program will implement an updated curriculum. Importantly, with our updated curriculum we are now offering approximately 30-50% of the courses in the Flex/Part time stream online/virtually. This important change along with exciting new and updated courses will make the learning experience at Centennial College even greater.
This nursing program’s new and updated curriculum is based on the College of Nurses’ of Ontario Standards of Practice for Nursing and Entry to Practice Competencies for Ontario Registered Nurses. It will aim to provide a solid foundation for nursing practice and the transition from PN to RN by emphasizing cultural awareness, ethics and professional practice, health assessment, pharmacology, skill mastery, nurse leadership, research and caring for clients with acute and chronic illness.
An exciting and unique aspect of this health program will be its focus on caring for individuals, groups, and communities in acute care settings.
