Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) 

  Brock’s Nursing program is known for its smaller student body   and more intimate   learning environment.  

  The Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) has   recognized Brock  U niversity’s commitment to excellence in   nursing education by granting our nursing program a seven-year   accreditation term, the highest level of CASN accreditation.    

Our new, state-of-the-art Clinical Simulation Lab enables   students to practice their clinical skills as they prepare for   clinical placements in health care facilities. Other on-campus   laboratories such as the Anatomy Lab with its  Anatomage  Table   nurture exploration and learning of anatomy beyond cadavers   and models.    

Students engage in clinical experiences every year of the   program and have many opportunities for varied practical   experiences which means Nursing graduates leave Brock with a   well-regarded reputation for excellence and have the knowledge   and skills to be health care leaders in Niagara and beyond.    

An exciting career awaits you in nursing.
