Native Nursing Entry Program


Melissa Oskineegish interviews the program coordinator Joy Niemenen and Elder Dolores Wawia about Lakehead University’s Native Nursing Entry Program (NNEP). The NNEP is a nine-month preparation program that helps Indigenous students gain the necessary skills and academic requirements needed to enter the nursing degree program at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
