The concurrent Bachelor of Nursing (BN) and Master of Nursing (MN) at Brock University enables four-year baccalaureate graduates from other disciplines to receive both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree within 20 months with five, year-round, continuous terms. This program recognizes roles of Registered Nurses as rapidly evolving and a need for graduates who will have the ability to engage in front line entry to practice with well integrated relational, research, leadership, and practice skills and knowledge. The program is unique in terms of Canadian baccalaureate and accelerated nursing degree education because students will be prepared both to meet the entry level nursing competencies, as defined in Ontario by the College of Nurses of Ontario and to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) as well as with research and leadership skills and knowledge associated with graduate level education. It is also unique because the program offers students with prior bachelor’s degree preparation and appropriate pre-admission courses an opportunity to build capacity in experiential development of research, practice, and theoretical learning that will have benefits to patients, families, and the community at large.
