Program details

Overview

This one-semester graduate certificate is built for Registered Practical Nurses who want to keep working while they study, developing the skills to become part of a surgical team that works alongside surgeons and anesthetists in the operating room.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants must be a Registered Practical Nurse in good standing with the College of Nurses of Ontario; recent graduates awaiting CNO registration may also be considered on review. Before placement, students must provide an immunization record, a vulnerable-sector police check dated within one year, current BLS/CPR certification, a mask-fit test, an annual TB test, flu vaccination, a minimum two-dose COVID-19 vaccination record, and a WSIB student letter. The programme page sets no language requirement of its own, so Fleming's institution-wide English proficiency standard for graduate-certificate programmes applies: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88, Duolingo English Test 120, or PTE Academic 56.

International applicants apply via the OCAS International Application Service to the September, January or May intake and face no fixed deadline; Fleming instead recommends applying between six weeks and five months before the intended start depending on home country, and processes files on a rolling basis with offers typically issued within 5-10 business days.
