Program Details

Nursing (B.Sc.) School: Thompson Rivers University Faculty: School of Nursing Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Nursing/Registered Nurse (RN, ASN, BSN, MSN) Description: The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program educates nurses to work with individuals, families, groups or communities from a health promotion perspective and an ethic of caring. The curriculum is based on a commitment to consider the changing health care needs of our society. Emerging from this commitment is the concept of caring. Caring is understood as the attitude and activity of nursing and will be considered in every nursing course. Nursing practice experiences have been planned and integrated throughout the program of studies. The BScN degree does not qualify the graduate to undertake employment as a registered nurse, but does qualify the graduate to write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE). To become a registered nurse, graduates must write and pass the CRNE. Students applying for CRNE examination and registration are asked to provide information regarding any convictions for criminal offenses (other than minor traffic violations). Candidates with criminal convictions may not be eligible for registration.
