Program Entry Options
Access for new Nursing students
Our Douglas College Nursing Program, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree Program (BSN), can be completed in approximately four years. The curriculum is based on the perspective of health promotion and caring. You are active participants in your own learning and individual interests are recognized and encouraged.
This program is approved by the Provincial Government and the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia.
At program completion you'll be eligible to apply to the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia to write the National Registration Exam and on successful completion apply for provincial nursing registration, which is required to practice as a Registered Nurse in BC.
