The program of study for Diploma Registered Nurses is integrated with existing course offerings. The practice of nursing in diverse clinical settings will occur in all academic terms. The curriculum is designed to build on the existing knowledge and skills of the students, to prevent duplication of learning experiences and to prepare the students to function in an expanded role in community and institutional settings.
The curriculum is planned for five academic terms if taken on a full-time basis. If taken on a part-time basis, students are normally allowed six years after the first Nursing course to complete the program requirements.
Electives
Twenty-four units of electives are to be selected from disciplines of the student’s choice, of which a minimum of 12 units are to be chosen from courses designated as Level II or above. For some courses, the amount of duplication of required content will preclude their being used for elective credit in the B.Sc.N. Program.
