Five New RPN’s Now Working In The Region

, , ,

There are now 5 new registered practical nurses working in our community.

Brigette Loeppky is a nursing instructor at Seven Generations and says all five recently passed their qualifying exam after graduation.

“All graduated and received their diploma,” explains Loeppky.

“It’s a two-year diploma program, so they received that and only then are you eligible to write the licencing exam with the College of Nurses of Ontario. So each one of the graduates wrote the exam and they all passed.”

Loeppky says over the past two years, they have graduated 10 RPN’s locally from their program and they are now working in the community.

The next intake for the RPN program will be the fall of 2021 at the Kenora, Fort Frances and Sioux Lookout campuses of Seven Generations.

Audio: Adult Ed Learning Portal Launched

, , ,

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board and Seven Generations Education Institute have launched a new online adult learning portal.

Adult Education Principal Lynn McAughey says anyone can earn a high school diploma, upgrade for college or university, upgrade for employment or enhance literacy skills.

McAughey says the partnership with Seven Generations allows you to take the courses you need to enter their Trades and Technology program, Police Foundation and Child and Youth Worker programs.

“We also partner with Confederation College. As an adult you can take both a high school credit and a college program as well, so that you are well prepared to take a program at one of our regional campuses.”

McAughey says “You can work on your courses at your own pace, from the comfort and safety of your own home, with the support of our helpful teachers. We even have options for people who don’t have access to WiFi or devices.”
