CCCN classes have helped me passed my Celban last July 2016! The classes prepared me well through role plays, celban practice tests, a lot of speaking exercises and very relevant studies in health care system in Canada. I recommend this course to others!

“I would say that the lessons in Module 3 are really helpful especially in preparing for the CCA! After completing this module, I feel confident in talking with my clients in the group home that I'm working in." - Module 3 completed March 2015.

I would like to gladly inform you that I passed the CELBAN! I am now working as an RN. I believe that the Instructors and the rest of the MNU staff contributed to my success.

This program was the main encouragement to continue with my goals of being a nurse in Canada. Without it I don't know where I could have found the resources I required to be successful in obtaining my immediate and future goals.

Thriving programs stay relevant to the needs of students. This presentation will focus on how programming models can utilize technology/eLearning options purposefully to better engage learners. A “Responsive program design” is less about buildings and more about eLearning options! The reality is that for many EAL learners, attending a full time face to face program is not possible. (And sometimes not what is needed or best!) In 2015, The Canadian Culture and Communication for Nurses program had learners participating from 17 different communities in Manitoba! When making program decisions, we ask ourselves, “How can we offer the same quality programming to those in Thompson as those in Winnipeg?” How can we design an eLearning program that is interactive that utilizes all language skills?” In our presentation we will talk about the need to be a responsive program and present strategies/decision making processes for integrating technology and eLearning options.
