What to watch for
Ontario Tech's BScN is a collaborative programme with Durham College, direct entry at mid-to-high 80s — but unlike TMU's collaborative model there is one code and one campus: Ontario Tech's words are that 'all students remain in one location during all four years' in Oshawa, taught by faculty from both institutions. Graduates write the NCLEX-RN.
