About our Program:

The Faculty of Nursing at the 杏吧原创 offers the only undergraduate and graduate programs for the nursing profession in the province. The Faculty of Nursing plays an important role in nursing education to support the local and national health system by developing nurse leaders grounded in the philosophy of Primary Health Care.

In addition to providing evidence-informed education, we strongly believe in providing opportunities for all
faculty, staff and students to participate in research and scholarships. Nursing education researchers study how students best learn nursing skills and investigate diverse topics such as health outcomes and improvements to the quality of healthcare services.

Nursing is a dynamic profession requiring critical and reflective thinking based on science and human
perspectives. There is a need to reflect and embed within the curriculum and pedagogy new ways of thinking and being to reflect the changing health system and the importance of interprofessional learning and collaboration, diversity, and inclusivity. In addition, we honour and appropriately respond to the Calls to Action of Canada鈥檚 Truth and Reconciliation Commission, including fostering reflection related to decolonization and Indigenization to support recognition.
