Program details

Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Psychiatric Nursing at Brandon University is a four-year undergraduate program offered at both the university's Main Campus in Brandon and its Satellite Campus in Winnipeg, giving students in either city access to the same credential. On completing the degree, graduates become eligible to write the Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Canada Examination, the licensing exam required to practise as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse. Psychiatric nursing is a distinct nursing specialization focused on the care of individuals experiencing mental illness, and the program is designed for students pursuing this specific career path within the nursing profession. Further detail on admissions and clinical requirements is available through the program's dedicated admissions section. The dual-campus format means applicants are not limited to attending in Brandon alone to pursue this credential.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Grade 12 English is required for admission. Biology 40S and Math 40S Pre-Calculus or Applied are not required for admission to Brandon University but are highly recommended, because they are prerequisites for the Pre-Psychiatric Nursing courses Anatomy & Physiology and Introduction to Statistics. Students then apply for Year 2 of the BScPN program. Every Pre-Psychiatric Nursing course must be completed with a 'C' grade or higher and an overall admission GPA of 2.5.

Application Details

Application Deadline: May 1 of the year of desired entry (for Year 2 entry into the BScPN program)
