| What it is | You study nursing, learning how to provide direct patient care, manage health conditions, and work within hospital and community health settings. Unlike a general health sciences program, nursing focuses specifically on clinical skills and the theory of caring for people across their lifespan. This program suits people who want hands-on healthcare work and are comfortable with science and human interaction. | 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. |
