The PHCNP Diploma program is a one-year, full-time or two-year, part-time course of study for nurses who already have a master’s degree and wish to prepare for advanced practice in primary health care nursing. The program consists of courses provided through the Ontario Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner (PHCNP) program. This provides opportunities for students to develop advanced skills and knowledge in health assessment for clinical nursing roles in primary health care settings. PHCNP graduates work in a wide variety of positions in public health, long-term care, primary health care, and community settings.

Successfully finishing the program allows graduates to apply to complete the Canadian family/all-ages nurse practitioner examination and apply for Extended Class registration as a Nurse Practitioner in Ontario.

What stands out most to me is how much it pushed me outside my comfort zone. The program is demanding and very hands-on, with lots of labs, design work, and team projects that feel close to real industry experience. It’s not easy, but it forces you to grow quickly—both technically and personally. By the time I finished, I felt confident tackling complex problems and stepping straight into the workforce.

Queen's University’s Bachelor of Computing program is pretty solid overall. The courses cover the core stuff like algorithms, data structures, and software design, but you also get flexibility to explore areas like AI or game dev. It can get intense around midterms and finals, but the profs are approachable and there’s a good sense of community. If you’re into tech and willing to put in the work, it’s a great place to build your skills.
