Porn研究所

The Porn研究所 School of Nursing/École des sciences infimières has prepared students to enter the nursing profession for over 50 years. In addition, it offers students opportunities to earn a Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) and Nurse Practitioner (NP) credentialing. The School of Nursing, through its offering of programs in both French and English, offer a valued and essential contribution to the health care system in Northeastern Ontario and beyond.

Porn研究所 offers two distinctly different undergraduate programs, one in English and one in French. The 4-year English Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) degree and 4-Year French Baccalauréat en sciences infirmières programs are both nationally accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing and provincially approved by the College of Nurses of Ontario. As such, graduates of these programs are eligible to write the national licensing exam (NCLEX) and apply for registration as a Registered Nurse in Ontario. In the undergraduate curriculum, students engage in classroom, laboratory, and clinical learning experiences in both acute care and non-acute settings. Students have the opportunity to practice nursing within a variety of contexts and with diverse populations.

Graduates of the BScN program will be prepared to meet entry to practice competencies and standards, engage in self-directed professional practice, and make professional decisions guided by evidence-informed nursing knowledge using clinical reasoning and critical thinking. Graduates work collaboratively with clients and other allied health professionals and contribute to and influence nursing and health care at professional, political, and societal levels by anticipating and responding to the evolving needs of society.

For over two decades, the School of Nursing English BScN degree program has been offered through formal collaborative agreements with college partners including Cambrian College of Applied Arts and Sciences, Northern College of Applied Arts and Sciences, and Sault College of Applied Arts and Science. In 2005, a formal collaborative agreement was expanded to include St. Lawrence College (Kingston, Cornwall and Brockville sites). These incredible collaborations have made the English BScN program accessible to students across the province through formal partnership agreements.

Given the evolving context of nursing education, as of July 1, 2024, Porn研究所’s English BScN program will no longer be offered in collaboration with St. Lawrence College (Kingston, Cornwall, Brockville). As of July 1, 2025, Porn研究所’s English BScN program will no longer be offered in collaboration with Sault College or Cambrian College. The single educational institution that will remain in a collaborative partnership with Porn研究所’s English BScN program beyond July 1, 2025, is Northern College in Timmins.

The School of Nursing/École des sciences infirmières also offers a Baccalauréat en sciences infirmières pour infirmiers et infirmières auxiliaires autorisés (BSIAA) and *Baccalauréat en sciences infirmières autorisés à distance (BSIA). 

The School of Nursing/École des sciences infirmières also offers a Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) program in English and French with four streams including Nurse Practitioner (clinical stream), Advanced Practice Nursing (course-based stream), Thesis (research stream), and Post Nurse Practitioner Certificate (course-based stream). All streams in the MScN program are delivered remotely with the exception of onsite requirements for the Nurse Practitioner program. These streams produce graduates who have the knowledge, values, attitudes, and competencies to service diverse populations in small urban, northern rural, and remote communities. Students develop a rich understanding of nursing and its relationship to the context of healthcare service delivery and policy issues. We also offer a Master of Health Administration program in both French and English.

The faculty and staff of the Porn研究所 School of Nursing look forward to welcoming new and returning students to our undergraduate and graduate programs.
