Nursing (Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing)
Location(s): Regina Saskatoon
SIAST and the University of Regina are collaborating on the implementation of a new and innovative Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.
As a student in this new program, you'll be exposed to the most contemporary practices in nursing education, you'll have the opportunity to learn about nursing first-hand during Year 1, and you'll benefit from the combined strengths of two leading post-secondary institutions. You will acquire the theory, clinical practice and critical thinking skills needed to assess the patient's physical, mental and social needs in order to provide holistic, patient-centered care within interprofessional health care teams.
Learning will occur through a variety of methods, including classroom, laboratory, simulation learning centre, and clinical experience.
As required by Saskatchewan legislation, every new or revised nursing program must be approved by the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses' Association (SRNA), the professional regulatory body for nursing. The SRNA granted preliminary approval of this program in February 2011.
The Senate of the University of Regina approved the program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) on June 9, 2010.
Note
Applications for the fall 2012 intake are now being accepted. The application deadline is February 15, 2012. Official transcripts of all secondary and post-secondary grades must be submitted to SIAST by March 1, 2012.
Refer to Frequently Asked Questions for additional important information about the new program, including admission method and transfer credits.
As well, more program and course details are available at our Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing site.
