Bachelor of Science in Nursing – Current Students
Congratulations on choosing baccalaureate studies in nursing...
As a BSN student we hope that you will enjoy and make the most of your time with us and within the dynamic university environment. A key aspect of baccalaureate education is gaining valuable experience in clinical practice, developing your skills and expertise in local hospitals and the community. You are also encouraged to discover or create opportunities to develop your skills as a nursing scholar. The University provides a wealth of learning opportunities and experiences with offerings from the arts, sporting activities, and learned discussion. Tuum Est - It is Yours!
Getting Ready to Start
Orientation sessions for new students are held as each new academic year begins in late August or September. It is very important that you attend an orientation to ensure that you are familiar with the curriculum, program structure, timetabling, and program policies. Library orientation is provided at this session and at other scheduled times and locations. Please refer to the Library Instruction Centre.
