Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Collaborate With York University)

The philosophy and curriculum of this collaborative program incorporate and utilize the concepts of caring and human science as the basis of nursing practice. Students work collaboratively with peers and faculty to explore nursing knowledge and caring practice. In the classroom, student learning activities focus on the nursing care of individuals, families, groups and the global community. In the practice setting, under the guidance of a practicum mentor or preceptor, students integrate knowledge from program courses to provide holistic, client-centered nursing care. In order to provide quality practicum placements, students are placed in a variety of agencies in the region serviced by the campus. Students are required to provide their own transportation to practicum placements.

Note: Georgian College and York University have developed an integrated collaborative program. Students in the collaborative program will spend their first two years studying at Georgian College. The next two years will be spent at York University. At the end of four years, graduates will receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) from York University and will be eligible to write the Registered Nurse examination.
