Overview

Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing

The Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing (BPN) builds on the foundation of a diploma in psychiatric nursing

This program is designed for diploma-prepared Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs) who wish to pursue their passion for psychiatric/mental health nursing. 

The BPN at MacEwan University is learner-centred, innovative, and offers a contextually relevant curriculum. 

The balance between liberal and professional education offers depth and breadth of studies, a global perspective, and an opportunity to enhance knowledge, skills and other professional attributes in such areas as:

Community mental health, child and adolescent psychiatry, the criminal justice system, mental health and addictions, application of therapeutic modalities, nursing research, and leadership. 

With two intakes per year, opportunities for full- or part-time studies, and delivery through a variety of distance and online learning technologies, the 45-credit BPN program facilitates ease of access for RPNs from both urban and rural settings.
