The Practical Nursing program at Mohawk College prepares students to become Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs), offering a rewarding healthcare career with diverse opportunities. The program combines online and in-person courses, providing a hybrid learning experience that supports work-life balance. Students complete the program in 16 consecutive months and have access to various pathways for further education. The program includes theory courses each semester, delivered online with mandatory in-person midterm and final exams. Lab-based courses feature weekly in-person labs, while clinical practice courses are held at healthcare agencies, with shifts scheduled during the week or on weekends.

In the first semester, students complete two 7-hour shifts per week, increasing to one 12-hour shift per week in the second and third semesters. In the final semester, students complete 40 hours per week of clinical practice over seven weeks. Students can choose from various timetable options, with morning, afternoon, or evening schedules available.

The curriculum is grounded in the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) RPN Entry-to-Practice Competencies and focuses on acquiring the knowledge, skills, and accountability required for nursing practice. Faculty members provide guidance, support, and feedback throughout the program, ensuring students are well-prepared for professional practice.
