Testimonials

"Upon my completion of the Collaborative BScN degree program, I felt that I was well equipped to enter the working world given the knowledge and skills I learned troughout my study. The school provided unique placements that were reflective of my preferences and interests in the field of nursing. My desire to further advance my nursing knowledge and research skills led me back to Ryerson for their MN program, where I am studying currently, knowing that it will be a rewarding empowering experience!"

“I like the fact that this program integrates theory with actual nursing practice right from the beginning. It gets you into a practice setting before the end of your first year, so that you can start acquiring clinical experience that accumulates year after year. I think it's very valuable to get your feet into real clinical practice as early as possible. Dealing with patients you've never seen before, with problems you've never seen before, speeds up your development in very important aspects of caring, such as critical thinking and reserving judgment.”

“This program has prepared me – and helped me – to go where I want to go. I like the fact that it has a generalist rather than a specialist focus. It gives you a well-rounded foundation that can lead to many possible career paths. As a graduate you have lots of choices of direction and a broad set of competencies that will help you succeed whichever way you decide to go. Employers really like graduates of this program. It certainly gave me an edge when I started applying for jobs. I had a lot of options, and a lot of offers! I was able to pick where I wanted to go.”
