A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) prepares graduates to contribute to the well-being of individuals and society. BScN program graduates are eligible to write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination and apply to become a Registered Nurse (RN).
RNs contribute to individual and societal health through direct care, education, research and administration. RNs play a vital role in promoting health and wellness, preventing illness and injury and providing direct care to individuals, groups and communities, within experiences of health, illness, healing, transitions and at the end of life. They have extensive knowledge, a broad repertoire of skills and professional attributes essential for evidence-informed practice within complex and diverse settings.
Theory, research, standards of practice and a code of ethics are used to guide professional nursing practice.
