UNBC’s Northern Baccalaureate Nursing Program (NBNP) will be offered at the Northern Lights College Campus in Fort St. John and will provide students with the skills and knowledge to enter the registered nursing field. The NBNP introduces students to the unique aspects of delivering health care in small urban and rural communities located throughout BC’s Peace region and beyond. The program is designed for individuals with previous experience and achievement in university-level, post-secondary education who are interested in careers as Registered Nurses (RNs). Upon completion, students earn a BScN and are eligible to write the NCLEX_RN, which qualifies them to work as RNs in any health care sector where RNs have legislated scope of practice.
