Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN)

York University’s School of Nursing’s stand-alone 4-year Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) direct entry program, which has received preliminary approval from the College of Nurses of Ontario, offers all four years at York’s Keele campus and is designed for students who have no previous nursing education. The program uses transformative teaching/learning strategies that blend theory and practice to develop intentional, reflective and socially responsive practitioners to ensure health for all through nursing excellence. Interprofessional thinking and collaboration are integrated throughout the program, culminating in a nursing capstone course which aligns with a final practicum experience. Students learn to partner, advocate and lead in the provision of care through opportunities that foster in-depth knowledge, critical thinking, lifelong scholarship, and professional development.
