RPN-BScN Degree Completion
Collaborative program
University of Ontario Institute of Technology
The province of Ontario is currently facing a shortfall of registered nurses in a
variety of health sectors. Build on your valuable knowledge as an RPN and
further advance your professional education. You'll hone your skills and
graduate ready to pursue additional career opportunities in hospitals,
nursing homes, community service organizations and health centres.
The UOIT Faculty of Health Sciences in collaboration with Georgian College
offers a Post RPN program that provides graduates from an approved
Practical Nursing program with an opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Science
in Nursing (BScN) Honours degree in three years.
Applications are considered for entry to the fall semester each year.
Students take three prescribed bridge courses on-site at Georgian College.
The bridging courses that students must take are offered only in the fall
semester. After completing these courses, with a minimum average of 60
per cent in each course, students are eligible to continue into the BScN
program during the winter semester. The remainder of the courses will be
offered in a variety of formats either at the Georgian Campus or online.
Applicants must hold a diploma in Practical Nursing from an Ontario
college (or equivalent) with an overall B average or better and possess a
current Certificate of Competence from the College of Nurses of Ontario. In
order to provide quality practicum placements, students will be placed in a
variety of agencies in the region serviced by the Georgian College campus
they attend.
