| What it is | You study the theory and practice of nursing care, learning anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, and clinical skills needed to work in hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This program is delivered at Mohawk College's campus rather than McMaster's main site, but follows McMaster's nursing curriculum and standards. It suits students who want hands-on healthcare training and are comfortable with science-based coursework and direct patient interaction. | This program helps nurses trained outside Canada become licensed to work as registered nurses in Ontario. Unlike a full nursing degree, it focuses on bridging your existing credentials to meet Ontario's standards rather than teaching nursing from scratch. It suits internationally trained nurses who already have an RN qualification and want to practise in Ontario without repeating their entire nursing education. | 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. |
