| What it is | You study nursing, which means learning how to care for patients, understand human biology and health conditions, and develop the clinical skills you'll use in hospitals and clinics. This four-year program combines classroom learning with hands-on practice in real healthcare settings from early on, rather than delaying clinical work until later years. It suits people who want direct patient care, can handle shift work and emotional demands, and are comfortable with both science and people skills. | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and how the body works during physical activity. You learn biology, nutrition, and sport science through lab work and courses. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings, giving you real experience alongside your degree. | 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. |
