Program Description

Rural hospitals, emergency settings, and nursing stations are looking for Registered Nurses who are prepared for the new demands emerging from Canada's changing health care system. The Primary Care Clinical Nursing Program addresses both the scope of nursing practice currently required by Health Canada's Medical Services Branch and the changing roles and responsibilities of nurses practicing in rural settings.

Through this two year distance based program, students will have opportunity to acquire increased competencies, enhance their career options, and move in to an area of high employment demand.

In addition, the program's 15 credits are transferable to BSN degree granted by UCC. The University of Victoria also gives a certain number of credits towards BSN degree.

This program is fully funded by student tuition. To meet the high educational standards and provide the necessary individualized practice support, class size is limited to 16. Program tuition is currently approximately $5,000. The tuition fee is subject to change.
