In 1994, the Minister of Advanced Education and Labor announced the government's support of this goal by transferring the total responsibility for nursing education in New Brunswick to the universities. In the Fall of 1995, the Bachelor of Nursing Program at the Saint John campus of UNB admitted its first students.

The degree program spans four years of general and professional education. On completion of the program, graduates are eligible to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN)Canadian Registered Nurse Examination to procure registration in the Province of New Brunswick. Those who are successful are eligible to obtain registration across Canada...

Faculty believe that professional nursing encompasses five interrelated areas of competency: Kknowledge and its Aapplication, Ccommunication, Ccritical Tthinking/Sskills of Aanalysis, Pprofessional Iidentity, and Ssocial Jjustice/Eeffective Ccitizenship...

BN Program

In 1989, the membership of the Nurses' Association of New Brunswick (NANB) voted to establish a baccalaureate degree in Nursing as the entry level to the profession by the year 2000. In 1994, the Minister of Advanced Education and Labor announced the government's support of this goal by transferring the total responsibility for nursing education in New Brunswick to the universities. In the Fall of 1995, the Bachelor of Nursing Program at the Saint John campus of UNB admitted its first students. The degree program spans four years of general and professional education. On completion of the program, graduates are eligible to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN)Canadian Registered Nurse Examination to procure registration
