Sault College has launched a new four-year Nursing degree program.
The Ontario government's announced the "new pathway for nursing education" in the form of a standalone Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree through Sault College, with Sault Ste. Marie MPP Ross Romano saying it's the latest such move, intended "to give our future nurses the ability to study and stay in their home communities to help meet local human health resource needs", driven by the "Home to Stay" mantra.
The first cohort of students will start the program in September, with Sault College to also launch a new Registered Practical Nurse to BScN bridging program next January.
