Diploma in Practical Nursing

Admission Requirements: The academic requirements below are Humber's Ontario baseline; an international applicant meets the equivalent standard for their own country of study through Humber's Academic Equivalency tool and then the same program requirements. Academic: an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or accepted equivalent including Grade 12 English (ENG4C or ENG4U, or equivalent), Grade 12 Math - one of MAP4C, MCT4C, MDM4U, MCB4U, MGA4U, MCV4U or MHF4U (or equivalent), Grade 11 or 12 Biology (SBI3C, SBI3U or SBI4U, or equivalent) and Grade 11 or 12 Chemistry (SCH3U, SCH4C or SCH4U, or equivalent). Mature-student status or college/university transfer status are accepted in place of the secondary-school route. A Canadian citizen or permanent resident schooled abroad needs a credential assessment first - ICAS course-by-course for a secondary transcript, WES for post-secondary study. English, where English is not your first language or your previous education was in another language: Humber's certificate, diploma and advanced diploma band - IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band under 5.5, TOEFL iBT 80 with 20 per skill, PTE Academic 53-57, Duolingo 105, CAEL 60. Once you accept a seat, placement clearances may be required: immunisations and laboratory testing, TB screening, a police record check, and current First Aid and CPR certification. Humber estimates about CAD 1,900 for the clearance package - Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid and CPR-HCP, an A.S.I.S.T. course, a vulnerable sector screen, required immunisations, and travel and parking for placement. Registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario later requires a declaration covering immigration status, any criminal conviction or offence under the Narcotic Control or Food and Drug Acts, any professional-conduct proceedings, and any disorder affecting safe practice; those conditions hold throughout the program.
