Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
List of Courses
OUR PROGRAM
This certificate program prepares Registered Nurses to give competent care for critically ill individuals and their families. The combined theory and clinical courses encompass the level 1, 2 and 3 Critical Care Standards of Practice as outlined by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care. This program is offered on campus or online.
Structured clinical courses provide nurses with a safe learning environment to practice critical care knowledge, skills and judgement in critical care units across the greater metropolitan Toronto area.
YOUR FUTURE STUDY OPTIONS
See transferguide.georgebrown.ca.
ALTERNATIVE STUDY OPTIONS – ONLINE
The Critical Care Nursing program is offered through online delivery. Live classes will be offered twice a week on Elluminate, and sessions are recorded for viewing at a later time as well. Clinical practicum will be offered in the Greater Toronto Area. This option may be of interest to nurses who require a more flexible learning pace. Students progress as a group with weekly modules and interact with classmates through online discussions and chat. Faculty are available to students for extra tutorials by e-mail.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
- RN with a current licence to practice with the College of Nurses of Ontario

YOUR CAREER
Graduates are prepared to work in medical-surgical, neuro-surgical, trauma, coronary and cardiovascular intensive care units. One hundred per cent of graduates are hired within six months of completing the certificate. Many hospitals have chosen our program (through sponsorship) to prepare their nurses for working in this dynamic specialty field. As a result of the current shortage of critical care nurses in Ontario, employment opportunities continue to expand.
