What it is	You study how to assess, care for, and support patients in hospitals, clinics, and community settings. Nursing combines biology, chemistry, and hands-on clinical training to prepare you for direct patient care and health advocacy. It suits people who want to help others through practical medical work and who can handle high-pressure situations with focus and compassion.	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.	Health Studies is a broad degree that explores how health systems, policies, and information work in society. You study topics like health management, statistics, finance, and health informatics rather than clinical medicine or hands-on patient care. The co-op option lets you do paid work placements alongside your studies, giving you real workplace experience in health organizations.
