Red Deer Polytechnic has announced that it will offer its Practical Nurse Diploma program in Camrose at the Campus Alberta Central community partner site, starting this Fall. Students of this expanded program will complete their theory courses online and conduct their labs in-person in Camrose. Half of the program’s seats will be reserved for students from the Camrose area. “Our Practical Nurse Diploma is a high-demand program, we often see waitlists for the program offered at our main campus in Red Deer,” said RDP Dean, School of Health and Wellness Heather Dirks. “By expanding our program to community sites through Campus Alberta Central, we are able educate more nurses, while also addressing the rural nursing shortage that we are experiencing in Alberta.”
