Program details
Overview
This Bachelor of Science in Nursing is offered as an Honours Specialization, delivered full-time and in person at the North Bay campus. The curriculum covers anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, mental health nursing, pediatrics, maternity and gerontology care, Indigenous and community health, and the ethical and legal dimensions of nursing practice. Clinical placements begin in the first year, held at the North Bay Regional Health Centre and community agencies, and the program uses on-campus simulation labs to build skills before students enter clinical settings. The program prepares graduates to write the NCLEX-RN licensing exam and is eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit. It suits students who want hands-on clinical experience combined with evidence-based classroom instruction, aiming toward careers as registered nurses. Career paths include emergency, intensive care, home care, pediatric, maternity, and psychiatric nursing, with further options to pursue Nurse Practitioner training, a Master of Science in Nursing, or certification in areas such as critical care, oncology, or palliative care.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Nursing programme page states only Nipissing's general undergraduate admission requirement and refers applicants to program-specific prerequisites without publishing them on the page itself; the university's general requirements page confirms the baseline is an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six 4U/4M courses (equivalent credentials for out-of-province and international applicants). Because Nursing sets a higher language bar than most undergraduate programs, applicants whose first language is not English must meet: IELTS Academic 7.0 overall with no band below 6.5, TOEFL iBT 93 overall (minimum 20 in reading and listening, 22 in writing and speaking), PTE Academic 63 overall (minimum 60 per section), CAEL 70 overall with no band below 60, or Cambridge C1 176 overall (minimum 169).
