"It feels good. It's been a little bit busy for the past two years, so it's nice to finally be done," Jarret Calvert, one of the 28 graduates, told CTV News.
The program is designed for students who already have an undergraduate degree to get a nursing degree in just two years.
Calvert hopes to work in his hometown of Turtleford, Sask. where he's seen shortages of healthcare workers.
"Try and help where I came from," Calvert said.
