Embark on an exciting career
The BN program at UNB Fredericton qualifies you to write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) set by the Canadian Nurses Association.
Once successful, you can use the title RN as you embark on an exciting career in an ever-changing field. The program emphasizes teamwork, technical procedures, leadership and clinical decision-making skills essential for working in the primary healthcare environment.
