Opportunity and flexibility
As a nurse, you can strengthen your ties to home or follow work opportunities around the world. You can fight disease or focus on preventative care. You can work with patient populations of all ages. You can do all of this on a full or part-time basis, with the flexibility to design a schedule that fits your needs.
A range of learning locations
Flexibility also applies to your learning at the School of Nursing. In addition to the Halifax campus, we also offer undergraduate programs in Yarmouth and at the Nunavut Arctic College, in the Northwest Territories.
Is Nursing for you?
If you’re wondering whether Nursing is the right path for you, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I enjoy working with people?
- Am I interested in disease prevention and/or health promotion?
- Do I consider compassion an important part of health care?
- Do I have an interest in health care policy?
- Am I a good problem-solver and critical thinker?
- Can I make decisions in a fast-paced environment?
- Am I an ethical, accountable and responsible person?
If you answer "yes" to these questions, you may be suited for a career in nursing.
