Registered Nurse program coming to North Battleford
Local area residents interested in becoming registered nurses in the future will now be able to complete the fourth year of their studies at North West College in North Battleford.
“We’re pretty excited about it,” said Tavia Laliberte, president and CEO of North West College. “In addition to students being able to take their last year here in the Battlefords, there will also be an opportunity when they actually apply for the Bachelor of Nursing Program to indicate that they want to be part of the Battlefords cohort. So when you apply to the program you’ll be able to see there is an actual cohort that is specific to the Battlefords.”
She said in their fourth-year, students in this cohort will have access to services and support locally at North West College.
People can apply for the program directly through Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
