PERSONAL SUPPORT WORKERS (PSW)
A Personal Support Worker (PSW) in Canada is a caregiver who assists people with daily personal care needs as they deal with the effects of aging, injury or illness. A Personal Support Worker works under the direction of a Registered Nurse (RN) or Registered Practical Nurse (RPN).
REGISTERED NURSE (RN)
Since 2005, all Ontario RNs must have a baccalaureate degree. RNs either take a collaborative college-university nursing program or a four-year university nursing program — both leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BScN) or Bachelor of Nursing degree (BN). Because an RN’s education is more comprehensive, they have a deeper knowledge base to draw on in areas such as clinical practice, critical thinking and research utilization. RNs can care for patients with more complex needs in unpredictable situations.
REGISTERED PRACTICAL NURSE (RPN)
Since 2005, all RPNs in Ontario must earn a diploma in Practical Nursing by taking a program consisting of four semesters over two years in a college program leading to a diploma in Practical Nursing. Because an RPN’s education is less comprehensive and more focused, RPNs’ careers are most appropriately suited to patients with less complex needs, and patients with stable and predictable conditions.
