University College of the North Diploma in Practical Nursing program one of the first to receive national accreditation

(Flin Flon/Swan River, MB) – Practical Nurse – Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) Accreditation Bureau (PN-CAB) granted the University College of the North (UCN) Diploma in Practical Nursing program accreditation.

 

“CASN accreditation for our Practical Nursing program is fantastic news for UCN and the north,” said Vicki Zeran, UCN Dean of Health. “Although CASN has been accrediting BN programs since 1987, UCN is one of the first DPN programs to receive National recognition through CASN.”

 

CASN Accreditation is a voluntary process and promotes program excellence to identify strengths and opportunities for program improvement. UCN received a 7-year program accreditation with recommendations for improvement.

 

“This process ensures that our program is held to the same high standards of other major Canadian institutions,” said Sheri McPhee, UCN DPN Program Coordinator. “I have never been more proud of the accomplishments of the DPN team and the students. We are producing work-ready nurses who are making a real difference in our communities, and to the people we serve as nursing professionals.”

 

The purpose of accreditation is to ensure that nursing education programs are held to expected quality standards. This furthers the practical nursing profession and greatly enhances the overall quality of care.

 

University College of the North provides learning opportunities to northern communities while respecting diverse Indigenous and northern values.
