Overview
This four-year, eight-semester honours bachelor's degree is an applied nursing program delivered by Canadore College, which holds ministerial consent to grant the degree, leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Teaching combines classroom coursework with laboratory work, high-fidelity simulation, and clinical practicums arranged with community partners, giving students supervised experience across a range of care settings. The curriculum spans core areas of nursing practice, including mental health, acute care, home care, public health, gerontology, and maternal and child health, building both clinical skill and theoretical understanding. The program is offered at Canadore's College Drive Campus in North Bay. It suits students seeking a full nursing credential that combines a university-level science degree with practical, supervised patient care experience across multiple health settings, rather than a shorter diploma-level program. On completion, graduates become eligible to write the national nurse registration examination and, once successful, may apply for registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario, allowing them to practise as registered nurses.

The programme page defers to Canadore's institution-wide English Language Proficiency Requirements for applicants whose first language is not English; as a degree programme, this places it in the college's Degree/High-Demand Health tier, published on the institution's international admissions page as IELTS Academic 7.0 overall with no band below 6.5, TOEFL iBT 94+ with no section below 26, PTE Academic 70 (no section below 58), or Duolingo 125 (no band below 120).

Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through OntarioColleges.ca: for programs starting in Fall 2027 the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027; Canadore states applicants may apply at any time, with the deposit for accepted Winter 2027 offers due 16 November 2026 and term tuition due 30 November 2026. Canadore's own how-to-apply page separately cites a generic, undated "applications open November 1 / competitive consideration date February 1 for Fall term, October 1 for Winter term" notice that names no specific cycle year, so its October 1 figure is not confirmed as the Winter 2027 deadline. International applicants apply through Canadore's international portal and are assessed on a rolling basis, with programs closing early once capacity is reached; no fixed international opening or closing date is published, and payment deadlines appear only on the individual letter of admission. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
