In 2000, as a result of provincial BScN degree entry-to-practice requirements for registered nurses in Ontario, Laurentian University entered into a formal collaborative educational partnership with Cambrian College of Applied Arts and Sciences, Northern College of Applied Arts and Sciences, and Sault College of Applied Arts and Science. Upon admission to the program, students may complete all four years of the program at the institution to which they have been accepted. In 2005, Laurentian University also entered into a formal collaborative educational partnership with St. Lawrence College encompassing its Brockville, Cornwall, and Kingston sites to facilitate access to BScN education.

Nursing is a knowledge-based profession that includes an exciting blend of science, mathematics, psychology, anthropology, organizational management and sociology, to name a few. Nursing education addresses each of these areas and prepares the student for a lifelong career locally or abroad with opportunities in acute care hospitals, public health, community healthcare, telehealth, outpost nursing, research, education, healthcare management, health policy development, and much more. Nursing students at Laurentian University have many advantages: The LU School of Nursing (LUSN) faculty members have a wide variety of nursing experience and expertise. We boast a state of-the-art clinical learning laboratory and a world-class library facility. Sudbury is the medical referral centre for Northeastern Ontario. The resulting comprehensive healthcare system allows for a variety of specialized learning opportunities for nursing students. Our students are part of the larger university community and are able to benefit from the expertise of many other disciplines such as midwifery, human kinetics, social work and medicine. They are able to participate in all that university life has to offer. In addition, students may wish to enhance their learning by assisting with research or participating in professional nursing organizations. Laurentian University’s School of Nursing offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) in both French and English. LUSN has responded to changes in the nursing profession as well as in healthcare by offering a Post-RN program, web-based courses, Nurse Practitioner Certification and a MSCN degree. The Laurentian BScN degree program is also offered in English at Cambrian College, Northern College, Sault College and St. Lawrence College.
