Humber’s Bachelor of Science - Nursing program prepares students with the necessary knowledge and skill for an in demand, rewarding career as a registered nurse (RN). Our graduates will lead and advocate for social justice while contributing to the delivery of innovative, safe, evidence-informed, and ethical care to clients and communities across all health-care sectors on local, national, and international levels. They will be 21st century global citizens. Our graduates are prepared to complete the nursing registration exam requirements as registered nurses in Ontario.
The comprehensive curriculum includes nursing theory and practicum experiences as well as a biological sciences and liberal studies education. While the prepatory semester does not have a professional practicum, there is a work-integrated learning component in the nursing degree program.
Humber is the only English-speaking college in Ontario with access to an on-campus cadaver lab for nursing students. Combine that with leading-edge simulation labs, bioscience and anatomy labs, and extensive practicum opportunities across several health-related agencies in the Greater Toronto Area - Humber students have the competitive edge.
