School: Fanshawe College

Program：Collaborative Nursing

Program Description:

Today's nurses are caring, compassionate and highly skilled men and women who nurture and treat patients alongside a team of medical professionals. The demands of a career in nursing are matched only by the personal and societal rewards that come on a daily basis. If you're ready for a high-paced, in-demand career where your kindness and medical knowledge help others, our accredited, Fanshawe's 4-year BScN program will give you the clinical skills and certification you need.

You'll study for two years at Fanshawe and two at Western University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree (BScN). You'll learn from experienced nurses who have been in busy ERs and doctor's offices, professionals who know the ropes and want to teach you. You'll begin learning in a state-of-the-art clinical education suite, then move into a 12-week clinical placement in your final work, where you'll partner with a registered nurse in one of London's exceptional health care facilities. This program also utilizes simulation learning.

Advantages:

The curriculum emphasizes a broad perspective of health and healing, health promotion and the ethic of caring. It takes into account health care needs in society and a changing health care system. The program educates nurses to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities in diverse settings which enables students to develop sensitivity to peoples' experiences with health, healing, and illness. Students learn to work in partnerships with clients, and interprofessional health care providers while actively participating in their own learning. Faculty and students work together in a collaborative, cooperative-learning relationship. Successful graduates from the program will be eligible to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX - RN) for Canadian nursing entry- to-practice.
