Make a difference in mental health care. Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPN) play a crucial role in providing compassionate, evidence-based care in community mental health, child and adolescent psychiatry, the criminal justice system, and addiction care and treatment. This is your opportunity to make a significant impact on the lives of others.
The Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing (BPN) is learner-centred, innovative and accessible. If you have a passion for psychiatric/mental health nursing and want to become a strong leader, this program is for you.
Program pathways
The Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing offers you a choice of learning pathways. You can complete a four‐year degree or exit with a diploma after two and a half years. You may begin your studies at either the Edmonton campus or at the Centennial Centre for Mental Health and Brain Injury in Ponoka. If you already have a Psychiatric Nursing diploma, you are eligible to enter the program to complete a post‐diploma degree.
