Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN)
Welcome to the Collaborative Nursing program! We're thrilled to have you here. To kick things off, don't miss the chance to
hear from our expert Year One Coordinator, Fabiola Longo.
Please also take a moment to review the Collaborative Nursing year one registration map. We strongly suggest you follow one of the recommended timetables outlined in the registration map.
General orientation for first-year students
The program will be holding a general orientation for nursing students during your first NURS1003 class on Sept 8 and Sept
- Details will be shared on the NURS1003 Canvas page, as well as the Nursing Student Community (NSC) Instagram account.
Pre-placement Requirements
Experiential learning is a key component of our nursing program and students will participate in practicum placements all four years of their program. To be eligible for clinical experiences, students MUST meet specific requirements for safe practice within established timelines.
These pre-practicum requirements include, but are not limited to:
Proof of immunizations Vulnerable sector check N95 mask fit
CPR certification
Other required training
We strongly encourage you to begin this process immediately as it can take several weeks to months to collect and complete this information.
Please visit the Nursing program office website for more information.
If you are an international student, please visit the dedicated international student page for students in collaborative nursing.
Accommodation
Accessibility Services (SAS) for more information. Please note: It is the student’s responsibility to ensure any required accommodations are in place before the start of practicum. We recommend speaking with SAS at least 1 term prior to the placement start.
Required Supplies
A list of the required supplies for both practicum and lab experiences is available on our website. Please visit the Campus
Store for information on required textbooks and course material.
