What it is	Nursing is a hands-on health care program where you learn to assess patients, administer treatment, and provide direct care under supervision. You'll study anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and nursing theory alongside clinical placements in hospitals and community settings. This program suits people who want to make a direct difference in patient care and are comfortable with science coursework and shift-based work.	This program teaches you the science behind how the human body works, how diseases develop, and how medicines treat them. You study human biology, pharmacology, and related medical sciences rather than practising medicine itself. The co-op version includes mandatory work terms at healthcare or research organizations alongside your coursework, letting you test whether this field suits you before committing to further training.
