Nurses in our program experience curricula that promotes the acquisition of knowledge, skills and professional behaviors necessary to deliver safe, high quality care.

Hands-on learning, full-time support.

Our comprehensive one-year program offers challenging and inspiring experiences, including:

  • Celebrations for key milestones
  • Classroom and simulation curriculum lessons
  • Clinical and inter-professional experiences

  • Ongoing professional development
