Canadore College Launching a New Stand-Alone Degree in Nursing

Four-years honours BSc in Nursing will be available starting this fall.

The Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities has announced that Canadore College will offer a new stand-alone Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree beginning in the fall of 2022. The new stand-alone program will increase the region's capacity to train and retain nurses. We appreciate our existing health education partners including Nipissing University and we look forward to enhancing our relationships with the launch of the stand-alone BScN.

New degree — a history of educating nurses

Canadore College has been training nurses for more than 30 years. The College's nursing programs will now include the new stand-alone four-year Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) degree and the three-year Bridging Practical Nursing to BScN Program.

Using simulations

Simulation in education will be a cornerstone of the College's BScN as it is with the bridging program. Canadore offers state-of-the-art simulation labs for skills training, critical thinking and experiential learning opportunities.

These labs will provide these opportunities in all eight semesters of the Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program. The College's health and human care programs have integrated interprofessional experiential learning opportunities in all curriculum and will continue to incorporate best practice guidelines to maintain its Best Practice Spotlight Organizations (BPSO) designation.

Real-life collaborations

Canadore's nursing programs are conducting interprofessional educational/collaboration research initiatives within the College, as well as in collaboration with other universities, industry partners, and international organizations. BScN students will have the opportunity to engage in these research endeavours with faculty as part of the new program.

Members of Canadore's nursing faculty are practicing nursing professionals. They remain current with trends, evidence-based practices, and the'yre experts in their field.
