Bow Valley College has received approval to develop and deliver a Licensed Practical Nurse to Registered Psychiatric Nurse bridging program. This program is offered in a competency-based education format, where students advance as they demonstrate mastery of skills and knowledge. This allows experienced LPNs to complete their education faster. The curriculum will equip graduates with advanced competencies in mental health care, preparing them to work with individuals with psychiatric conditions and emotional disorders. BVC says that this is the first time the program has been offered in AB in this format. The program is expected to begin in Fall 2026.
