Kwantlen Polytechnic University's Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Degree Completion for Registered Nurses gives licensed registered nurses in British Columbia a direct route to a KPU Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Admitted students enter Semester 6 of the standard BSN curriculum and complete the equivalent of three semesters of full-time study, covering Term 6 (Health Promotion and Community Empowerment), Term 7 (Societal Health), and Term 8 (Transitions), for a minimum of 41.5 credits. Diploma graduates of a Collaborative Nursing Program in British Columbia may be admitted directly, while other registered nurses complete an individual assessment and the access course NRSG 3190 within two years of entry.
