FEATURES:
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program offers instruction in nursing, health sciences, social sciences, and research; and an opportunity for advanced focus in a variety of areas.
This program is approved by the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia. As a graduate, you are eligible to write the registration examination, NCLEX.
UFV provides course delivery options that are flexible wherever possible and include independent study, lectures, seminars, multimedia approaches, and simulation in labs and tutorials. Clinical experiences occur in hospitals and community agencies with supervised practica, preceptorships, and observational experiences.
UFV’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program has implemented a concept-based curriculum aimed to create a learning environment with improved student engagement and increased critical thinking through student-centered activities and strategies. The basic premise of a concept-based curriculum is that the concepts most commonly applied in nursing practice provide the foundation for the program. Therefore, you learn the concepts in depth through exemplars and are able to translate that knowledge into a variety of practice contexts and situations.
The BSN program is designed to prepare you to become an effective and professional nurse in an evolving health care environment.
Recent health care reforms launched by the provincial government emphasize health promotion, disease prevention, and community-based health care. These changes mean new opportunities for today’s UFV nursing grads, who are recognized as major contributors to health care reform.
As a graduate, you are prepared to practice in hospitals or in the community — and at many different levels.
The First Nations Health Authority promotes opportunities for young, passionate, and educated B.C. First Nations and Aborignial youth. Check out their health careers guidebook for info about specific health careers.
