<p>MODIFIED BSCN NURSING CURRICULUM BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 2016</p> <p>Dalhousie School of Nursing is leading the way for a transformation in nursing education in Atlantic Canada and has recently revised its curriculum and restructured the Bachelor of Science (Nursing) program based on best practices in nursing education. The revised curriculum (120 credit hours) will be completed over three calendar years (eight semesters) for direct entry students, and over two calendar years (six semesters) for advanced standing students (those with previous university education), offering graduates the opportunity to enter practice one year earlier. Direct entry students complete foundational non-nursing courses in Semesters 1 and 2; Advanced standing students enter the program at Semester 3. All students are admitted into the program September of each year.</p> <p>The program blends classroom learning with clinical simulation, and practice application in placements designed to support student learning and mastery. The following chart depicts the nursing semesters at a glance.
