Assiniboine College Parkland Campus is now accepting applications for its Practical Nursing program, which begins in September of next year.

Student Success Advisor Kristy DeSender says as part of the process, the college is offering a series of workshops - beginning in January - to help guide potential students through the nursing application process.

"We are focusing on the key application requirements.  These could help to make sure you have the grades and the pre-requisite high school courses.  For example, to be accepted into nursing, you need to have a 60 per cent in grade 12 English, Math, and Biology.  So if you do not have this minimum grade, we do offer these classes at Parkland Campus beginning in January."

There will also be workshops that provide coaching for some required courses and training, such as CPR and first aid, as well as financial aid options.

Parkland Campus director Carol Stewart says they are also hosting an Apply for Nursing information session on December 17th. 

"We would love to meet with you and make sure that we can offer any assistance you will need.  Nursing is a  demanding and dynamic career, and applying to be a nursing student also comes with demands.  So on Tuesday, December 17th at 6 pm, we will share all the details about applying and the steps you can take to successfully complete and submit your application."
