Additional Information

Below are admission requirements and/or forms that have to be completed before start of the semester or the date specified.

COVID-19 vaccinations are now required for all students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Practical Nursing and Personal Support Worker programs, in order to be permitted to attend clinical hours.

Students who do not comply with the immunization requirements will not be allowed into the practice settings and as such will not be able to complete the Practicum required for graduation from the program. CPR re-certification, criminal reference checks and immunization updates are required annually and must be completed prior to the start of classes each fall for students to be able to participate in required clinical placements. Any costs for these tests/certifications will be the responsibility of the applicant.

Students are responsible for the cost of appropriate uniforms and equipment (e.g. stethoscope, watch, pen, etc.) required for the clinical area as well as transportation to practicum placements. Mask fit testing will be provided by the College prior to clinical practice. Upon successful completion of all courses outlined in the program of study (including a minimum of 65% in core Nursing courses), the student is eligible to write the REx-PN as set out by the College of Nurses of Ontario. Students will be informed of the cost of this examination to be paid to the College of Nurses of Ontario, and it is their responsibility to pay this fee by the designated dates. Resources customized to prepare students to write the REx-PN are embedded within the curriculum of the 2nd year courses, and the cost remains the responsibility of the student.
