nursing schools and their courses

University of Alberta

Students at this school will be taught by experienced and knowledgeable experts, including some of whom are also researchers. In addition to the four-year Bachelor of Nursing degree program, the University of Alberta offers a collaborative program with Athabasca University that allows students to take their first two years at one of five separate college locations in Alberta. The last two years would then be completed at the University of Alberta. One advantage to attending UAlberta is that its nursing program is accredited by both the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing and the College & Association of Registered Nurses in Alberta.
