Nursing (BSN)

TWU Nursing is recognized as a leader in faith-integrated education and is accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing. As a student in the TWU School of Nursing, you will experience transformative education that develops your intellectual, sociocultural, emotional, physical, and spiritual self. Our nursing classes are small, clinical experiences in hospital, community, and simulation lab settings are varied, and graduates score highly on the professional certification exam (NCLEX). You will study with professors who have received multiple teaching and research awards at university, provincial, and national levels. Your professors are also the authors of textbooks, chapters, and articles you will be reading. Our Liberal Arts Foundations courses support holistic student development, while core courses in science, art, philosophy, language, religion, and society and culture encourage you to think biblically, critically, and ethically about the world. Nursing courses equip you to work collaboratively for the promotion, maintenance, and restoration of health. Throughout the program, we focus on concepts of covenantal caring, equity, person-centredness and quality of life, and global engagement.
