This program will provide an additional skill set for learners in the NTC nursing programs as well as licensed nurses in the workforce. As a result, it will improve employment opportunity for nurses and serve to improve the quality of care for their patients. The integration of therapeutic massage into contemporary nursing practice is based on positive research findings, improved patient care outcomes and growing consumer demand.
This certificate program for Nurses/Nursing learners does NOT prepare learners to sit for the National Certification exam in 'Therapeutic Massage'.
Prerequisite: Nursing I (PNSG1202) must be complete prior to taking any of the THPY courses.
Graduates can incorporate their massage skills in direct care positions in various traditional nursing settings such as hospitals, long term care, hospice, wellness centers, etc.
