The curriculum is designed to be taken over one year. Application for an extension to the program must be submitted to the Student Advisor. With approval, students have three years from the time of admission to complete the requirements for this program.

Students are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of their registrations. Particular care should be exercised regarding prerequisite courses.

Placements can be made anywhere in the greater Edmonton area (Devon, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, Morinville, St Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove and Stony Plain) or as far away as 150 kilometers. Students are responsible for their transportation to practice placements and for the costs of travel and accommodations.

Students must have a lab coat.

NURS 415 is a pre- or corequisite for NURS 301, 410 and 470; prerequisite for NURS 475.

All students must take one clinical course. Students must take NURS 475 unless they can demonstrate that they have met the requirements of this community nursing clinical course. If they have met these requirements they must take NURS 492. Students who need to take NURS 475 but would also like to take NURS 492 can select it as a senior elective in Spring/Summer.

All students must take political science (3), philosophy (3), and English (3). Students who obtained credits for English in their nursing diploma program must take an elective instead.
