Nursing (Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing)
Location(s): Regina Saskatoon
SIAST and the University of Regina are collaborating on the implementation of a new and innovative Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.
As a student in this new program, you'll be exposed to the most contemporary practices in nursing education, you'll have the opportunity to learn about nursing first-hand during Year 1, and you'll benefit from the combined strengths of two leading post-secondary institutions. You will acquire the theory, clinical practice and critical thinking skills needed to assess the patient's physical, mental and social needs in order to provide holistic, patient-centered care within interprofessional health care teams.
Learning will occur through a variety of methods, including classroom, laboratory, simulation learning centre, and clinical experience.
As required by Saskatchewan legislation, every new or revised nursing program must be approved by the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses' Association (SRNA), the professional regulatory body for nursing. The SRNA granted preliminary approval of this program in February 2011. This is the highest approval available to a program until there are graduates from the program.
The Senate of the University of Regina approved the program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) on June 9, 2010.
Note
This program is open for application from 8:00 a.m., October 1 to 4:30 p.m., February 15 (Saskatchewan time) each academic year. Official transcripts of all secondary and post-secondary grades must be submitted to SIAST by March 1. If either February 15 or March 1 falls on a weekend or holiday, the applicable deadline is extended to the end of the next business day. Saskatchewan high school students must request a transcript to be electronically sent from the Ministry of Education to SIAST by March 1 and at the end of the school year. The final official transcript must be submitted by August 1.
Refer to Frequently Asked Questions for additional important information about the new program, including admission method and transfer credits.
As well, more program and course details are available at our Saskatchewan Collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing site.
