Nursing

The Faculty of Health Sciences, in collaboration with Durham College, offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Honours). The facultyпПХs mission is to prepare professional nurses who are committed to excellence and innovation in assessing and meeting the nursing needs of society and to develop and transmit knowledge regarding nursing practice and the human experience of health, illness and healing. This fully integrated partnership provides collaborative learning activities in which students take an active role in their own learning. This learning strategy, combined with traditional methods, prepares students for lifelong learning through the development of research, teamwork, practice and leadership skills essential for nursing practice. The state-of-the-art nursing labs provide students with practical, hands-on experience in hospital and home-care settings with the latest technology right at their fingertips.Nurses are dedicated to serving the health care needs of the public; therefore, obtaining the best possible outcome for the patient is paramount at all times. In order to meet this expectation on graduation, it is important that applicants considering the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Honours) program realize there is an expectation throughout the program that they demonstrate an ability to meet the competencies outlined in the Standards of Practice of the College of Nurses of Ontario.
