The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum has been redesigned for the April 2018 intake. The changes attend to advances in learning theory and curriculum design in nursing education. The redesigned curriculum meet standards of accountability to government, students and society for exceptional nursing graduates who will lead healthcare in British Columbia.
This curriculum will be a spiraled, competency based model that employs conceptual learning, learning technologies and active learning strategies, including both simulated and clinical practice experiences. The three year program is delivered year round in three 14-week terms with breaks of two to four weeks between terms. |
