Program overview
A four year nursing degree covering health sciences, nursing theory and practice, pharmacology, health assessment, mental health and community nursing, with supervised clinical practicum running through the programme.
This is delivered as a university transfer arrangement, which means part of the programme and the degree award involve a partner university rather than the polytechnic alone. Confirm exactly which institution confers the degree and where each year is delivered before accepting an offer, because it affects study permit planning across the full four years.
Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a degree, and degree level programmes are exempt from the field of study requirement, so no CIP code check applies to Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Science in Nursing with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Science in Nursing in writing before you pay a deposit.
