The Practical Nursing (Flexible) program at Centennial College offers students the in-depth knowledge, skills and judgement required in today’s complex health care environment.

The offering also meets competencies that will reflect the evolving and expanding role of the practical nurse as provided by the Nursing Act and the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA). These competencies will include learning to provide safe, competent and ethical care using resources and technologies for an increasingly complex client population. The Practical Nursing program will also serve as preparation to practice autonomously in a variety of settings.

What You’ll Learn

  • Therapeutically communicate with clients and members of the health care team
  • Assess clients across the life span in a systematic and holistic manner
  • Plan safe and competent nursing care based on a thorough analysis of available data and evidence-informed practice guidelines
  • Select and perform nursing interventions using clinical judgment in collaboration with the client and, where appropriate, the health care team, that promote health and well-being, prevent disease and injury, maintain and/or restore health, promote rehabilitation, and/or provide palliation
  • Evaluate the outcomes resulting from all interventions in the nurse-client interaction and modify the plan of care as required
  • Act equitably and justly with clients and members of the health care team
  • Adapt to a variety of health care settings using different leadership skills and styles as appropriate to each setting
  • Contribute to creating a healthy and safe work environment in a variety of health care settings
  • Practice in a self-regulated, professional and ethical manner, complying with relevant legislation and with the standards of both the regulatory body and the practice setting to provide safe and competent client care

Additional ancillary fees for career services, health and counselling, athletics, student ID cards, and more may apply.

My experience with Centennial College has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. What should have been a straightforward administrative issue has turned into a long and stressful process because my emails and requests have repeatedly gone unanswered.
I contacted the appropriate departments multiple times regarding an issue with charges on my student account and requested clarification and assistance. Despite sending several emails to Accounts Receivable and Student experience, I received no meaningful response to my questions. I also created a CASS ticket, but that did not result in a satisfactory response or resolution either.
The most frustrating part is not simply the financial issue, it is the lack of communication and follow-up. When a student contacts a college repeatedly about an important account matter, they should not have to continuously chase different departments just to receive a basic response.
I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to get someone to properly review my situation. Instead of receiving clear answers, I have experienced no attention, unanswered emails, and what feels like being passed from one place to another without anyone taking responsibility for resolving the issue.
This situation has also caused me significant and ongoing stress, particularly. Students should not be left feeling helpless simply because college departments fail to respond to reasonable requests for clarification.
Centennial College needs to seriously improve its student support, communication, and accountability. Ignoring repeated emails and leaving students without answers is not acceptable customer service, especially when money is involved.
I hope the college reviews how these departments handle student complaints and account disputes. Students deserve timely communication, transparency, and a fair opportunity to have their concerns properly investigated.
Based on my experience, I am extremely disappointed with Centennial College's handling of this matter and with the lack of response from the departments I contacted.

As a current student in Centennial College’s Early Childhood Education program, I’m loving the experience so far! The curriculum is really well-rounded, covering everything from child development to creating inclusive learning environments. The best part is the hands-on experience—we get to work with kids through placements, which is amazing for applying what we learn in class.
