NURSING

Post-Diploma B.Sc.N. Program

This program involves two years of full-time study and is designed for graduates of diploma nursing programs at colleges of applied arts and technology or of hospital-based or regional schools of nursing. It is offered to registered nurses whose goal is to add to their knowledge and skills in nursing, and to advance to baccalaureate preparation.

The curriculum is designed on the premise that professional nursing is multidisciplinary in nature, applying nursing, biological, and social sciences as well as the arts, to the care of individuals, families and communities. As inquiring, caring, competent practitioners, nurses serve the needs of society through health promotion, health maintenance, prevention of disease, and care of the sick and dying.

Upon successful completion of the program, students are eligible to pursue graduate studies.

Program for Community College Nursing Graduates.
