On May 10, 2024, Saskatchewan Polytechnic partnered with the Government of Prince Edward Island (PEI) to address the need for qualified nurses in PEI. The partnership will deliver the Transition to Registered Nursing in Canada and the Registered Nurse Bridging Program for Internationally Educated Nurses. These programs aim to enhance the nurses’ skills and understanding of the Canadian healthcare system. The programs provide education on various aspects of Canadian healthcare and will be delivered in a hybrid model. Eligible PEI learners will earn a Saskatchewan Polytechnic credential on successful completion, and the program prepares them for the National Council Licensure Examination. By expanding these programs, Saskatchewan Polytechnic is contributing to developing a skilled nursing workforce in PEI and addressing the healthcare needs of Canadians.
