Message from the Director

Greetings from the Director Ryerson, Centennial, George Brown Collaborative Nursing Degree Program

The Ryerson, Centennial, George Brown Collaborative Nursing Degree Program is the leader in collaborative nursing education. Our collaborative program offers a creative and unique model of nursing education that develops the knowledge, skills and judgement required of future nurses. Our collaborative program is now the largest in Ontario. We hold the highest quality ranking awarded, having received seven-year accreditation status from the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) in 2007.

The career possibilities for nurses today are far reaching and the employment rates of our graduates are high. The traditional role of a nurse in the hospital environment is only a small subsection of this profession which encompasses a vast array of career possibilities in a number of areas, such as the community, complex-continuing care, public health, mental health and rehabilitation.

This program will give you a solid foundation in nursing theory along with a variety of high-quality practice experiences. As a graduate, you will be a knowledgeable and compassionate practitioner. You will have the skills and knowledge to build therapeutic relationships with patients and their families that will benefit from your interpersonal skills and your high quality clinical competency. We are dedicated to graduating nurses who will be leaders in all aspects of nursing practice and play an active role in shaping Canada’s health care future.
