| What it is | This four-year program trains you to become a registered nurse by teaching anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and clinical skills alongside theory about patient care and health systems. Unlike a college nursing diploma, this university degree emphasizes evidence-based research and independent thinking, preparing you for leadership roles in hospitals, clinics, or specialized nursing fields. It suits people who want a healthcare career rooted in science and are comfortable with both lab work and direct patient interaction. | 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. | You study how to assess, care for, and support patients across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. This program combines classroom learning in anatomy, physiology, and nursing theory with supervised clinical placements where you provide direct patient care. It suits people who want hands-on healthcare work, can handle emotional demands, and are comfortable with responsibility for others' wellbeing. | Neuroscience at Brock combines biology, chemistry, and psychology to study how the brain and nervous system work at every level, from molecules to behaviour. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or related organizations, giving you practical experience alongside your degree. This program suits students drawn to understanding how the mind functions, who want hands-on research or clinical experience, and who value learning in real workplace settings. |
