Description:Carleton’s new Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) is based on the relationship between the nurse, the patient and the community. Our direct entry compressed three-year program will prepare you to be on the forefront of nursing practice. Our compressed Honours degree is completed by students full-time over fall, winter and summer semesters. The hybrid coursework occurs on campus, in small experiential learning labs and through clinical placements. Use of innovative extended reality — augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) — medical simulation and clinical placement experiences will provide you with strong theoretical knowledge and excellent practical application to support a practice-ready Registered Nurse.

We have partnered with the Queensway Carleton Hospital to expand communitybased, experiential learning and produce sustainable community engagement. Starting in your first semester, you will receive clinical experience, patient care and critical-thinking skills through work-integrated learning. Along with a highly innovative simulation model, you’ll train with other professional healthcare partners and the community to promote equitable and sustainable health outcomes.

Your career: clinical practice both in hospital and community settings; educators/educational settings; government and policy; program development and planning; management and administration; mental health and wellness; private healthcare services; rural and remote healthcare
