Nursing Degrees Online

Students should expect to spend approximately $550 to cover textbooks and additional miscellaneous costs. In addition, there is a $350 kit fee for Year 1 and a $200 kit fee for Year 2. This fee covers the cost for lab supplies, name badge, Sheridan crest and a fitting for an N95 mask. Given the key focus on clinical placement in this program, students should also expect 15 - 20 study hours weekly outside their regularly scheduled classes.

The Practical Nursing Program is designed to provide individuals who want to enter the practice of nursing as practical nurses with the knowledge and skills needed for success in a rapidly changing health care system.
UNIQUE LEARNING EXPERIENCES
Work Experience

Students will apply theoretical knowledge in clinical settings under the direction and guidance of Registered Nursing faculty and pre-graduate preceptors. Clinical practice will be in regional hospitals, long-term care facilities or community settings. We make every effort to locate placements within a 150 km radius of the campus. Students are responsible for transportation to and from their clinical settings. Clinical placements could extend to hospitals well beyond the Sheridan campus area.
Further Education

Following successful completion of the program, graduates will be eligible to write the Registered Practical Nursing exams. Should the new graduate wish to pursue degree studies, BScN programs are available throughout the province.
