Emergency Nursing

Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Regina, is a hands-on institution known for industry-focused technical and vocational education. Established roots and modern facilities support a practical approach to learning that prepares students for direct entry into the workforce. The Regina campus offers applied programs designed to meet regional and national labour needs, with a student body that includes a significant international presence and a commitment to experiential learning.

Programs cover a broad range of trades, health technologies, business and engineering technologies, with 27 distinct options that emphasize applied skills, labs and work placements. Strong partnerships with local employers shape curricula and create practicum and co-op opportunities, allowing students to build professional networks and accumulate workplace experience before graduation. Faculty with industry backgrounds provide mentorship and skill-focused instruction aligned with employer expectations.

Campus services support both domestic and international students through advising, skills development and career-centred workshops, helping graduates navigate job search and credential recognition. The college’s practical training model, combined with vibrant community ties in Regina, makes it a pragmatic choice for students seeking applied learning and clear pathways into employment across Saskatchewan and beyond.

If you are a registered nurse who thrives in high-intensity settings and wish to expand your skill set for a wider range of patient populations, the Emergency Nursing programme builds on your existing RN qualification. It is aligned with the standards of the National Emergency Nursing Association and prepares you to sit the national emergency certification examination after graduation.

The programme runs for three weeks and ends with a Certificate of Achievement. During this intensive period you study triage, trauma care, critical-ill patient management, care across the lifespan, and teamwork within multidisciplinary health-care teams.
