Courses for bridging into Practical Nursing (Study in Nova Scotia or BC?)

[JacquelineJax]

Hi!

I currently live in BC (Canada). I have been a care aide for ~5 years now (in BC) and was wanting to upgrade to become and LPN.

I am currently taking Anatomy and Physiology and have received 80% on my first test. ?

I have checked around and know there is access courses in BC, but can't seem to find any access programs in Nova Scotia. Maybe I am looking in the wrong places?

So, my questions are:

1. Is there an access/bridging program to become an LPN in Nova Scotia?

2. What are some experiences/thoughts on the Access program itself? Is it worth taking?

Thanks ahead of time!

Look at the NSCC website as a few places do LPN courses. I know where I work the local NSCC started a LPN course which has just finished the first year and is a 2 year course and many of the students are care workers
