Overview

Bachelor of Science, Nursing

The focus is on concept-based and intentional clinical learning. 

Intentional clinical learning is a purposeful approach to providing students with the foundational knowledge and skills to provide safe quality patient care in today’s complex health settings.

The program begins with admission to Red Deer Polytechnic in year one as a student in the University of Alberta Collaborative Baccalaureate Nursing Program with Red Deer Polytechnic. 

For the first three years, you are registered as a Red Deer Polytechnic student. 

During year three you apply for official admission to the University of Alberta for your fourth year. 

If you meet the criteria, you continue at Red Deer Polytechnic to complete your fourth year.

After completing year four, you will convocate from the U of A with a BScN. 

As a graduate, you will be eligible to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). 

This is required for license to practice in Alberta as a registered nurse (RN).

The goal of the collaborative program is to provide a comprehensive curricular approach to student learning that is learner-centered and based on the development of the discipline, profession, and practice components with mutual responsibility for teaching and learning by faculty and students.
