What you studyNursingNursingNursing
What it isThis program teaches you to become a registered nurse — you learn patient care, medical science, clinical skills, and how to work in hospitals and clinics. It combines classroom learning in anatomy, pharmacology, and nursing theory with hands-on practice in real healthcare settings. The program suits people who want direct patient contact, can handle emotional and physical demands, and are comfortable with science and responsibility for others' wellbeing.You study nursing from day one, learning how to care for patients across different healthcare settings, combining classroom learning with supervised clinical practice. Direct entry means you enter the nursing program straight away rather than completing a general first year, so you start specialized courses immediately. This suits people who are confident about choosing nursing and want to focus entirely on building clinical and theoretical nursing skills.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.
