If you know an affordable nursing school for an international student in the Province of Alberta, please let me know. My wife is thinking about becoming a registered nurse.

She has a BA degree in Accounting that was received many years ago. If she can use that degree and complete a second BS degree in Nursing in 2 years that would be wonderful. If 4 years colleges are expensive, she is ready to go to a 2 years community college to save some money and get a degree. Thanks for your time.

Have a look at Lethbridge College.....very well respected program here!

All the best

Thanks Mrs Miggins. Now my wife changed her mind. She does not want to study Nursing anymore (after talking to a few Nurse friends that are working in the US).

Now we are looking for a short program (6 months to 12 months max) that she can earn a certificate/diploma and get a part-time job that pays about $15-20 per hour in Lethbridge/Calgary/Edmonton. She is not planning on working for more than 2 years. She wants to start a small business after that. Thanks.

the quickest she'll earn a diploma is in 2 years, certs will only get her minimal of positions, she's better off just swallowing the 2 academic years and earning 20 odd an hour if she has good human services based experience. We are closing down community based facilities here in AB due to a lack of staff, however many of the occupations are regulated and require diplomas to enter full time employment.

Good luck!
