TRAINING

T
he two-year Practical Nurse Diploma program is being offered in Camrose this fall thanks to a joint partnership agreement between Campus Alberta Central, Red Deer Polytechnic and The Bethany Group. Sixteen students (fourteen who live in or near Camrose), who aspire to enter the healthcare field and potentially advance their studies to become Licensed Practical Nurses, began their training this fall at The Bethany Group Heritage Building on 53 Street in Camrose. Much of the training will take place online at a place of choice for students; however, all hands-on sessions will occur on the fourth floor of the historic headquarters for The Bethany Group. CAC is finding equipment and supplies while Bethany is providing the lab space free of charge. This unique partnership is bringing much necessary post-secondary education to students at a lower cost while addressing the rural nursing shortage in Alberta. Historically, many graduates tend to begin their careers in, or close to, the community in which they trained.
