This collaborative nursing degree program provides entry options through Ryerson University, Centennial College or George Brown College to ultimately earn a BScN from Ryerson. This program, offered across all three sites, provides diverse clinical placements, simulation, group study and interactive teaching strategies. After graduation, you may write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), apply for registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario and pursue nursing positions in a variety of health-care settings.
