- Our philosophy is that exemplary nursing practice is built upon the foundational blocks of the sciences and arts.
- This professional degree program qualifies graduates to apply to the regulatory body of the province which they plan to work in order to secure registration to practice with the title “Registered Nurse”.
- This four-year program is very hands on with practice nursing skills taught each year in the School of Nursing Simulation Lab and GSK Clinical Education Centre.
- Over years two, three and four you will complete clinical practice in children’s, maternity, mental health, hospitalized patients, and community. Settings include hospitals, public health, clinics and community agencies (such as schools, flu clinics, Alzheimer agencies).
- Support is provided for student success: a full-time academic advisor is available throughout your program along with numerous Queen’s services such as Student Wellness Services, Student Academic Success Center, Bounce Back and Peer Support.
- You will get to know the faculty due to the teacher student ratio in the program.
- Students may tailor their program by choosing to take the Certificate in Business, Certificate in Law, Arts and Science certificates, complete a Dual degree in Arts and Sciences, apply for research assistant positions or simulation lab assistant positions.
- Nursing students can choose to complete their electives at the Bader International Study Centre in East Sussex, England, during one spring session.
