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.

Access I for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and
Access II for Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs)

The Access I for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Access II for Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPNs) Programs will no longer be offered until the newly revised Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program has been approved. At that time, the college will review the possbility of offering an access program for LPNs and RPNs.
