The nursing program at Loyalist College has received the highest rating by the College of Nurses of Ontario for the third time.
The Practical Nursing diploma program has received a Category 1 status and consistently exceeds expectations according to key performance indicators and graduates’ performance on the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam.
Loyalist College President and CEO Dr. Ann Marie Vaughan says significant effort and dedication go into achieving the Category 1 status and the faculty and staff go above and beyond to deliver an exceptional educational experience.
Practical Nursing students learn to assess clients’ health throughout the lifespan, and to plan, implement and evaluate appropriate nursing care, in the classroom and beyond.
On June 7, Loyalist College’s collaborative Bachelor of Science in Nursing program with Brock University was approved by CNO, following the annual review process. With the Approved (Category 1) status, Brock-Loyalist graduates are eligible to apply for registration as RNs in Ontario.
The Brock-Loyalist Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is recognized for hands-on learning and academic excellence with an innovative curriculum based on current standards and best practices. Students spend the first two years at Loyalist and the final two years at Brock University to graduate with a B.Sc.N. awarded by Brock.
