The Keyano College Nursing department in collaboration with the University of Alberta Faculty Of Nursing offers a four-year baccalaureate program at Keyano College. The method of instruction is Context-Based Learning (CBL). Throughout the program, students work in small groups with a tutor to explore a series of scenarios. Content from nursing, physical sciences, medical sciences, social sciences, and humanities is introduced and integrated. Students also take several electives through the University Studies department. All electives will be completed prior to entering the fourth year of the program.
Nursing practice occurs in concentrated blocks of time in each term, in various settings, including community and institutional experiences in each year of the program. In addition to working days, students may be required to work evening, nights and weekend shifts in the clinical settings. |
