LPN course in Hazelton seeks provincial recognition By Jerome Turner Hazelton/Interior News
A licensed practical nurse program that has been offered at the First Nation’s high school in Old Hazelton has some students concerned after they learned they weren’t going to be certified upon graduation next month. The 20-month nursing program, which over the years has successfully graduated

students who went on to prosperous nursing jobs, is in this situation through no fault of local staff. A change in the application process for schools running satellite programs, such as Edmonton’s Norquest College, the source of the program in question, has led to a hiccup in this year’s graduating class’s ability to find work immediately after graduating. A Norquest representative

was unavailable for comment at press time. Essentially, a student is usually granted an interim license from the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of B.C. to work before passing a national license exam, the next of which occurs in September. Marj McRae, Gitksan Wet’suwet’en Education Society executive director, is working with CLPNBC to get the current nursing class the same

opportunities available previous years. “This class will graduate in June like every other class has,” McRae said, voicing her concern for this year’s graduating class. “It’d be a shame if these students were denied the chance to get a good job here.” Sara Telfer, deputy registrar with CLPNBC, says there is another route for this year’s graduates. “They could apply for

certification in Alberta upon completing the course in Hazelton,” Telfer said. “That process can take as little as two weeks time and they should be able to apply for jobs in B.C. “Unfortunately this program was not registered properly by Norquest this year, which would have ensured all graduates an interim license.” Graduation for the program is set for June 13.
