Canadian Culture and Communication for Nurses is a free English and cultural communications program for internationally-educated nurses in Manitoba, Canada.

Internationally-educated nurses (those that have completed their nursing education outside of Canada) who are preparing for licensure, and those who are already working as nurses in Manitoba are able to take part in our programs. 

Classes are free for eligible students!

There are 3 modules,which are designed to be flexible. The modules have been designed to be completed during a 13-week term.  Ssome students complete the lessons at an accellerated pace and are finished within 7 weeks, and some students are busier where it may take them 20 weeks to complete the module.  The student decides what is the best pace for them.  Students are placed into the module that corresponds best with their learning needs and goals. The online modules include specialized onsite (face-to-face) classes that focus on listening, speaking, and cultural awareness issues specific to nurses.

Because this course is offered online, students can study at home when they have time. They can also study from anywhere in Manitoba.
