BA/BS in Nursing is a bachelor's degree in Nursing programme offered by Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Canada. The programme runs for 4 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 31,750 per year (CAD 6,104 per year for local students).
Lakehead University's Nursing program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, offered as either a three-year compressed program or a four-year standard program, alongside an eight-month Indigenous Nursing Entry Program that prepares students for entry into the BScN. Coursework integrates nursing theory and practice with supporting science and social science courses, and clinical placements begin as early as first year. Fourth-year students may complete senior clinical placements internationally, including in Thailand, England, Finland, Sweden, and New Zealand. The program has a particular emphasis on Indigenous health and wellness and preparing graduates to work as registered nurses in northern, rural, or remote settings, though it is open to students with a range of career interests. It is delivered full-time or part-time at the Thunder Bay campus. The program suits students seeking a nursing degree with early, hands-on clinical exposure and an option to gain international clinical experience in their final year.
