It’s a novel juxtaposition of old and new.

Students from TRU’s Practical Nurse program, who took many of the courses on line using state-of-the-art technology, will wear traditional white uniforms and caps and be pinned as nurses were in earlier days at their graduation ceremony Feb. 23 at 2:00 pm in Room 1611 of TRU’s Old Main building.

It’s only the second graduating class to have completed the program, jointly offered by TRU and NorQuest College.

The graduates are now eligible to write a practical nurse national examination to obtain a license to practice in British Columbia acute care hospitals, continuing care centres, community care settings, client homes and clinics.
