Nurses are the backbone of any health care system, and Georgian’s Practical Nursing graduates have shown they are fully prepared with the knowledge and skills to start their professional careers.
Recent graduates from the Practical Nursing program at the Barrie and Owen Sound campuses did very well on the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination (CPNRE) with 92 per cent from Owen Sound passing and 90 per cent from Barrie.
In order to become a registered practical nurse in Ontario, you must successfully complete the CPNRE. This national examination measures the competencies required of nurses at the beginning of their nursing career in Ontario.
“Our nursing students are very dedicated and work very hard throughout their program and to prepare for this exam,” said Marion Lougas, associate dean, Health, Wellness and Sciences. “This high pass rate is a testament to the commitment our faculty and staff make to ensure student success. It is particularly apropos that we received this news during Nursing Week.”
