Additional Information

Our program supports your development of the
knowledge, skills, and values necessary for the
practice of professional nursing in a complex health
care system. The program is designed to educate
nurses to work with individual clients, families and
communities from a health promotion perspective.
You will learn the importance of understanding
the client’s experience of health and healing

and how to practice from an ethic of caring. You
will learn through a combination of face-to-face
academic, simulated, and practical experiences.

We are in a degree granting partnership with the
University of Victoria and students take the final
continuous terms of third and fourth year UVic
courses at Selkirk College. This partnerships
supports our delivery of a dynamic and responsive
academic degree. Graduates are eligible to write the
National Council Licensure Examinations, Registered
Nurse (NCLEX-RN) and qualified to pursue graduate
education.

SPECIAL COSTS, TRAVEL, AND
RELOCATION REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the usual expenses for tuition,
textbooks, IT and N-CLEX prep resources and fees,
nursing students can expect to pay approximately
$350 for a uniform, shoes, stethoscope and other
items.

Placement in practice areas is arranged by the
faculty in accordance with the availability of suitable
learning experiences and the student's learning
needs. It is not possible to accommodate personal
considerations related to residence or family
responsibilities. Individuals enrolling in the Nursing
program are advised that access to a reliable motor
vehicle is a necessity, and a valid BC Driver’s License
is strongly recommended.

Travel requirement includes local hospitals and
agencies in Castlegar, Nelson, and Trail during all
semesters.

Students may have to relocate for Consolidated
Practice Experiences (CPE's) which may include
communities throughout the East and West Kootenay
regions, or elsewhere.

Students will be required to obtain CPR-Level HCP
prior to end of Fall Term Year 1 and maintained
throughout the program. The cost for such
certification will be additional to other course fees
in the Nursing program. Recertification is required
every two years.
