Bachelor of Science - Nursing - Compressed (RFN)

At the frontlines of healthcare, nurses are figures of wellness, support, and strength. Trent University will emphasize a well-rounded approach to healthcare and will prepare students for success whether they want to work in a hospital setting or somewhere less traditional. Beginning in year one, students will be immersed in both theory and practice through lectures, seminars, case studies, simulation labs, and clinical practice. Students will not only develop the important skills necessary for nursing, they will also have the opportunity to practice what students have learned through a range of hospital and community placement settings.

Students develop a strong understanding of social justice and political advocacy in the healthcare environment by choosing courses with topics including aging, mental health, Indigenous communities, rural healthcare, as well as gender and women’s health.
