  • Become a nurse foot care specialist

    Are you a nurse working in community, diabetic, renal or senior’s health care and seeing an ever increasing need for better lower limb and foot health care that is within nursing scope of practice? Are you a creative RN, RPN or LPN interested in broadening your horizons into your own business as a foot health provider? Are you already a foot care nurse seeking to up-skill your current foot care practice? As the world population ages, lower limb and foot complications from diabetes and peripheral vascular disease continues to grow. The call for nurses trained in expert medical foot and nail care is critical and ever increasing to assess, prevent, treat, teach and advocate for clients and patients at risk. In fact, it is our belief that every nurse should study lower limb and foot health as a required part of their professional development. Opportunity is knocking at the door for you to make a difference and be on the leading edge of change! Through the Caritas College Foot Health Management program, you will develop the theory and the practical skills required to provide general lower limb health and advanced foot and nail care. Caritas College offers one of the most comprehensive and detailed foot care programs in North America and prepares nurses to take the WOCNCB CFCN (US) examination. We invite you to come and learn with us and improve your skills as an exceptional lower limb health care provider.
  • Develop your potential as an LPN leader

    As the world of nursing evolves to accommodate care needs in supportive living, primary care networks, community and other continuing health care streams, there is a growing need for Licensed Practical Nurses to demonstrate exceptional leadership skills. LPNs are asked to perform to full scope of practice that includes taking on supervisory and management roles within the healthcare team. Not only does this require clinical skills which show emotional intelligence, critical thinking aptitude, and a collaborative practice approach, but also the ability to successfully run the team under your supervision in collaboration with other managers, administrators, physicians and nurse practitioners. This course, tailored specifically to the LPN scope of practice, will provide you with the resources you require to elevate your performance as a competent supervisor and an exceptional leader. It may also distinguish your resume from others when applying for positions. Whether you want to run a doctor’s office, a unit/neighborhood in a supportive living facility, or the whole facility with hundreds of employees, supervisory and leadership skills are the keys that open those doors for you.

  • Learn how to create, launch and run your own business

    Have you been feeling the urge lately for a chance of pace in your nursing career? Maybe the thought of being your own boss is really appealing. Having been there ourselves, we know that starting your own independent practice is possibly one of the most exciting and potentially rewarding activities you can engage in. There is no limit to what you can achieve through private enterprise, but perhaps you aren’t sure what you all need to have in place in order to ensure you’ll be successful as a nurse entrepreneur. These are all important thoughts to consider before embarking on a new business venture as a nurse. In order to be successful as a nurse entrepreneur, you need to have support from someone who has a solid understanding of developing their own private practice and understands the unique challenges around it. Through the Caritas College Entrepreneurship for Nurses program, we will provide you with wise and experienced instruction, a solid foundation and the tools you will need for starting a small business in nursing. We discuss business concepts, strategies and planning to get you started. We support you in your development of innovative health care contributions, creating systems, action plans and goal setting strategies for your new enterprise. We help you to understand common entrepreneurial issues and how to strategize for practical solutions.  

High River Campus

We take a different approach to teaching – we believe it should be engaging and not dry, so we incorporate fun experiential elements using gamification concepts to make learning fun. We believe that education should be done around your home and work commitments and not the other way around. While the majority of our programs are online, we also offer hands-on clinical experience in select courses. We offer courses in leadership, entrepreneurship and becoming a foot care specialist, providing you with the opportunity to not only change your life, but save others.
