Description:
Today’s nursing profession is both an art and a science. Faculty of Health's Collaborative Nursing program is designed for students who have no previous nursing experience. It recognizes and values this perspective and educates nurses using a 'praxis' model that blends theory and practice.
You will acquire critical thinking and research skills as well as gain extensive practicum/clinical experience. The combination of in-class discussions, laboratory and classroom simulations, and clinical placements will help you develop a high degree of theoretical, practical and philosophical knowledge around human caring. Through this approach you will learn to practice nursing using a holistic approach towards individuals, families and communities.
Students in this innovative and exciting four-year collaborative degree program will select one of our collaborative partner sites (Seneca and Georgian Colleges) for the first two years of their degree followed by years three and four at York University. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) degree from York and will be eligible to write the certification examinations from the College of Nurses of Ontario in order to become a Registered Nurse.
