Honours Bachelor of Science – Nursing

About this programme

This degree reimagines what nursing education should be, helping you understand the valuable roles that both Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) play in our health-care system. You’ll first learn entry-to-practice competencies required of both RPNs and RNs, then build on that knowledge to master advanced competencies RNs need to care for unstable and complex patients. Graduate with nearly 1,600 hours of real-world experience. This is the first nursing degree program in Ontario to include two consolidation preceptored placements, sharpening your skills after your fourth and eighth semesters. Our nursing labs also use high-fidelity mannequins and UbiSim virtual simulation software to ensure you enter the workforce ready to care for patients. If you need to exit this program early, you’ll meet the Colleges of Nurses of Ontario’s (CNO’s) entry-to-practice competencies for RPNs after two years of studies — meaning you can graduate with a Practical Nursing (Leadership and Education focus) diploma and write your RPN licensing exam. If you re-enter Sheridan’s degree program within the next two years, no bridging courses will be required. In each year of your studies, you’ll earn certificates that are valued by employers and could help you advance in your career more quickly: Sheridan has been granted a consent by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities to offer this degree for a seven-year term starting September 18, 2023 and subject to renewal thereafter. Application to the Ministry for renewal of the consent is a prescribed and cyclical
