The University of Toronto


The University of Toronto, Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing's full time 2-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing program opens the door to a long and rewarding career in health care. The Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing has a long history of educating nurses at the baccalaureate undergraduate level, and is renowned internationally for its educational programs and the quality of nursing research conducted by its faculty members.

The overall objective of the two year Bachelor of Science in Nursing is to prepare mature candidates with both university and life experience to meet the challenges of the health care system of the future. Students enrolled in the program benefit from opportunities to work with diverse populations, and to practice under the supervision of highly qualified professionals in some of the best health care agencies in Canada.

First Year
Content in the program is focused on the theory, research, and practice relevant to the care of patients. In the fall of the first year, several areas will be studied: health and assessment skills, therapeutic communication, discipline and professional issues, and concepts of health across the lifespan. Students will address the developmental needs of healthy families, children, and elders. Clinical practice will take place in hospital and community settings. In the second term, students will concentrate on the pathophysiology and care of individuals experiencing acute illnesses that require hospitalization. Practice will occur in pediatric and adult medical-surgical units. In the third term, students will focus on the nursing care of clients living in the community with chronic or disabling conditions. In addition, they will take courses in nutrition, medical microbiology, and nursing research, one per term.

Second Year
In the second year of the program, in addition to the courses on Professionalism and Politics, and Advanced Nursing Theory, students will take two consecutive seminars that integrate theory, research, and clinical practice. The first concentrates on the complexity of persistent illnesses, and the second focuses on primary health care. In preparation for independent practice after graduating, students will undertake a four-month continuous integrative clinical practicum at the end of the program.

Length of Program
The Two-Year BScN Program is to be taken on a full-time basis. Students will complete the program within two years, with graduation in the fall of the second year.
