Students interested in registering for the Practical Nursing Diploma program at Assiniboine College's Parkland Campus are encouraged to attend a special information session Tomorrow night.

Parkland Campus Director Carol Stewart says while the course is not slated to start until September, potential students need to start getting prepared for it now.

"A September start may seem like a long time from now but because nursing is one of the most dynamic and impactful professions, those who apply for the practical nursing program need to meet certain requirements.  And so there are a few important steps that people have to take before they are ready to submit their application.  And so we are trying something new to help guide potential students through the application process so that they can submit successfully." 

Stewart adds they will also provide details about the program itself, as well as funding and resources.

The info session begins at 6 pm Tuesday night at Parkland Campus. 

The college is also holding a number of workshops throughout the month of January to help prospective students with the application process and to make sure they have the necessary requirements for the course.
