UNBC to launch pathway for LPNs

The University of Northern British Columbia will be launching the LPN Pathway – NBNP this Fall to provide Licensed Practical Nurses with a new way to become Registered Nurses. The accelerated program will consist of five consecutive semesters of full-time study and placements in northern communities, and will lead to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. This pathway is offered in a combined cohort model at both the Fort St John and Prince George campuses, as part of the UNBC School of Nursing’s current two-year Northern Baccalaureate Nursing Program (NBNP). “This lines up with our regional mandate to support nursing education throughout the north,” said UNBC Interim President Dr Bill Owen.
