“NorQuest College's LPN program allowed me to get the education I needed to fulfill a lifetime goal of being a nurse to vulnerable people. I returned to school as a mature student and was so appreciative of the method of instruction and the practical experience I received. When I started my first position as an LPN, I felt well prepared and confident in my skills.

After becoming Program Manager (Boyle McCauley Health Centre), I have had many good experiences hiring graduates from NorQuest College. I find that they are confident in their skills and always willing to learn new skills. The LPNs are perfectly suited to work in a close team environment such as we have in our Community Health Centre. ”
