Postgraduate Certification in Nursing with Co-op Sprott Shaw New Westminster College

The Post Graduate Certificate in Nursing is a preparatory program that provides training for internationally educated nurses for adapting to Canadian best practices so that they can assume entry-level nursing roles within the Canadian health care system. Students will develop critical thinking skills used in nursing and develop cultural awareness and administration skills that are an important part of nursing in Canada. This program introduces a breadth of knowledge and skills from nursing and related disciplines aimed to meet the complex health needs of clients in constantly evolving practice environments in Canada.

NCAS offers a consistent approach for evaluating the extent to which an IEP’s competencies are substantially equivalent to those of a Canadian health professional entering practice. The NCAS assessment process is a mandatory registration requirement for some regulatory organizations. NCAS is the only competency assessment service that allows an applicant to have their skills and competencies assessed for two different health care roles at once. Thus, a registered nurse can be assessed for competency as a licensed practical nurse, and a licensed practical nurse can be assessed for competency as a health care aide.
