Up until a few years ago, PN students graduated with a certificate rather than a diploma. A license is only granted after successful writing of the CPNRE.
Alberta and Ontario were the first to grant diplomas. The education is now based on a more traditional college semester system over two years and includes many of the first year Arts courses required for the BScN degree.
thank you for your reply, unfortunately i miswrote when i said changes to the license. I understand the license would not be changed only changes to the program itself becoming a diploma program instead of the current certificate program. My question was more if anyone knew when these changes were going to happen in manitoba. I have heard rumors about 2010 but no other information other than that. personally I think its a good idea.

I am a student accepted into the practical nursing program starting in march and I was wondering if anyone has heard about the possibe changes to the program. I heard they were changing it from a license program to a diploma program.
