| What it is | This program prepares you to become a registered nurse through a mix of classroom learning, chemistry and biology foundations, and clinical practice in real healthcare settings. Unlike a standard nursing degree, the collaborative model means you'll study alongside students from other health programs and learn in integrated teams that reflect how hospitals actually work. It suits people who want direct patient care, have solid science skills, and learn well by doing. | You study the science and practice of patient care, learning human anatomy, pharmacology, and clinical skills alongside supervised hospital and community placements. This is a direct entry program, meaning you begin nursing coursework immediately rather than completing general prerequisites first. It suits people who are confident they want to become registered nurses and are ready to combine classroom learning with hands-on patient care from the start. | This program trains you to become a registered nurse with the additional legal right to prescribe certain medications. Unlike a standard nursing degree, it includes specialized coursework in pharmacology and clinical decision-making that prepares you to diagnose and treat independently in specific practice settings. It suits people who want hands-on patient care combined with expanded clinical authority and the ability to manage medication decisions. | Biomedical Science is the study of how living systems work at the molecular level, focusing on chemistry, genetics, and cell biology as they relate to human health and disease. It goes deeper into biochemistry and molecular mechanisms than a general biology degree, preparing you for careers in research, diagnostics, or further study in medicine or related fields. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you alternate between classroom and paid work in labs or healthcare settings. It suits students who want a science degree grounded in medical applications but are not yet committed to a specific health profession. |
