  About the UNBC School of Nursing

 
Message from the Program Chair
 
The UNBC School of Nursing is one of the leading programs in the world for preparing nurses, nurse practitioners, advanced practice nurses, and researchers to work and extend knowledge and its use in rural, northern and remote communities. The School takes a practice-driven approach to nursing education and knowledge creation and its translation. That is, faculty and staff work in close partnership with Northern Health and with other health authorities and community agencies, so that our education and research programs are reality-based and responsive to the needs of northern and rural peoples. Through our partnerships, students have the opportunity to learn from experienced teachers, outstanding clinicians, practice leaders and researchers, who are committed to ensuring that students have the best possible learning experiences. The School offers programs in Prince George, Terrace, Quesnel, and online, and draws on a network of state-of-the-art simulation laboratories and clinical practice experiences across northern BC. Our students are well prepared, confident, competent, and keen to engage in interprofessional practice and lifelong learning.

I invite you to discover more about the UNBC School of Nursing, and explore how you can begin or further develop a dynamic and rewarding career in nursing.
Dr. Martha MacLeod

About the School of Nursing
 
The UNBC School of Nursing is actively engaged in preparing excellent nurses who are ready to meet the complex care needs of individuals in regional, rural and remote communities of the North. We strive to foster a deep commitment to the nursing profession and embrace change as a means for influencing health care at all levels. We strive to produce graduates who inform knowledge and practice by using an evidence-informed approach to nursing.  
 
We offer innovative and practice-based programs of study at the undergraduate level including our Northern Collaborative Baccalaureate Nursing Program (NCBNP) in partnership with the College of New Caledonia and Northwest Community College, a Post-Diploma program, and a provincial practice-driven Rural Nursing Certificate Program (RNCP). At the graduate level we provide multiple options for individuals wishing to pursue a Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) degree: a Professional/Academic stream and a Family Nurse Practitioner stream. In addition, UNBC is currently developing a collaborative, inter-professional doctoral program in Health Sciences which will provide our students with the opportunity to pursue doctoral level study in the future.
