Overview

The Long-Term Care Orientation for RNs and LPNs course supports nurses as they transition to practice. This course provides standardized education for nurses within LTC.

This will ensure nurses within LTC are able to care for residents and families/caregivers. Nurses will be supported to meet the knowledge and skill requirements to perform their roles, responsibilities, and provide access to quality, resident-centred care.
