There are more and more requirements for higher education in all health care fields – Nursing is no different. A degree enables the graduate to access a wider range of jobs as well as continued education opportunities at the Masters, Nurse Practitioner, and PhD levels. Many provinces and countries are requiring a minimum of a Baccalaureate degree in Nursing for entry into practice. We have tried to keep all doors open for education in Nursing at McGill. Our BSc(N) meets the needs of students with a DEC in science while our Bachelor of Nursing Integrated Program (BN) has been developed for people who have a DEC in Nursing from CEGEP.
