Applying to the SCBScN Program as a Current High School Student
The SCBScN program is a four-year, full-time program for students who want to become a Registered Nurse (RN). High school students currently completing their grade 12 year can apply for direct entry to the SCBScN program. That means no requirement for a pre-professional year.
Upon acceptance to the SCBScN program, students must be prepared to:
- Complete their program as designed. The SCBScN program is cohort based, where students complete their program following a set schedule with limited flexibility.
- Live in their campus city (Regina or Saskatoon) throughout the duration of their program. This program includes on-site lectures, labs, seminars, and practice education.
- Travel outside of Regina and Saskatoon may be required for practice education placements.
There is one intake a year for the fall term.
