What to watch for
Nursing is direct entry, and Nipissing states the gap between floor and bar itself — its own OUAC listing reads: 'Min. 70%. Maximum 96 students. The admission average in 2026 was mid 80s.' Fifteen points separate the published minimum from what actually got in. Apply on the mid-80s, not the 70.
