Sheena joined the MLA program in March of 2026. After 8 years of working in a different field, she decided to “take a leap” and go back to school.
She was nervous at first, as it had been years since she had been a student. Now, she’s a few days away from starting her practicum placement at Alberta Children’s Hospital.
We are so proud of Sheena and her classmates and we can’t wait to see how far she’ll go.

That's what we hear from students every day. They not only find a path to a new career; they find community and support among peers.

Our two year Practical Nursing students know how to strike a pose (and so does their instructor Coleen!).
Just 10 months away from final practicum, and we couldn’t be more proud of their progress and confidence.
We are excited to open our doors to our second Practical Nursing class on September 8, 2026. Details in our link in bio.
