Overview
The Honours Bachelor of Science – Nursing is a four-year honours baccalaureate degree offered at Sheridan College's Davis Campus in Brampton, leading to eligibility to write the College of Nurses of Ontario's licensing exam. The curriculum first covers entry-to-practice competencies shared by Registered Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses, then builds toward the more advanced competencies Registered Nurses need to care for unstable or complex patients, reflecting an intraprofessional approach to nursing education. Students complete close to 1,600 hours of clinical experience, including two consolidation preceptored placements after the fourth and eighth semesters, and train using high-fidelity mannequins and virtual simulation software. Students who need to exit the program early can meet the College of Nurses of Ontario's entry-to-practice requirements for Registered Practical Nurses after two years, graduating with a Practical Nursing diploma, and may re-enter the degree within two years without bridging courses. Each year of study includes a professional certificate, covering topics such as dementia care, crisis communication, crisis prevention and mental wellbeing for nurses. The program suits students seeking a nursing degree with extensive clinical placement hours and a structured pathway between practical and registered nursing credentials.

Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for programmes starting in Fall 2027 the application opened 26 September 2026, the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, and offers can go out from 1 November 2026, with portfolio- and audition-based programmes deciding later in March; accepted offers must be confirmed by 1 May 2027. Winter and Spring/Summer 2027 entry use the same portal but Sheridan publishes no fixed equal-consideration date for them and reviews those on an ongoing basis. International applicants apply directly through Sheridan's own International Application Portal, not ontariocolleges.ca; the college publishes no fixed international deadline and admits on a rolling, space-permitting basis, so early application is advised for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
