Nursing Program
Once enrolled in a nursing program, students have the opportunity to practice in a wide variety of settings locally and provincially, with options for study nationally and internationally.
The complete four year Basic Bachelor of Nursing (BN) program is available here in Moncton. For more information on the Faculty of Nursing and the program check the UNB Calendar.
UNB's BN program emphasizes five abilities essential to work in the primary health care (PHC) environment with a variety of opportunities for clinical practice.
Five Abilities
- Knowledge and its application - using and generating knowledge from nursing integrated with other disciplines, to provide safe and competent nursing care and to achieve the goals of PHC.
- Communication - communicating effectively with diverse populations to establish therapeutic, professional relationships, to convey accurate and salient information and to achieve safe and competent evidence based interventions in practice.
- Critical thinking/skills of analysis - critically evaluating clinical evidence, situations and practices, and learning how to formulate safe, ethical, and competent nursing interventions with individuals, families and communities.
- Professional identity/ethics - developing skills and predispositions that support socially just and ethically caring nursing practices in complex situations.
- Social justice/effective citizenship - becoming socially responsible professionals and global citizens
