Humber is proud of its collaboration with the University of New Brunswick - institutions with long-standing traditions of excellence in nursing education in Canada. As a UNB-Humber nursing student, you will receive all four years of your university undergraduate degree education at Humber in Toronto. Upon successful completion, you’ll receive a Bachelor of Nursing degree from the University of New Brunswick.
Our curriculum focuses on the nurses' role in community/public health, primary health care, long-term care and acute settings. Our small class sizes of 35 to 40 students in our theory and science courses provide students with both individual and group learning opportunities. In our simulation labs, you will be able to practise and improve your interpersonal and technical nursing skills in a safe and active learning environment.
Students will also receive hands-on experience across a number of clinical placements at health-related agencies across the Greater Toronto Area in each year, starting in the second semester. These placements provide students the opportunity to integrate nursing skills and knowledge in a supervised setting. Clinical experiences will be diverse, covering a broad range of settings including community agencies, schools, long-term care facilities and hospitals. Humber has relationships with several community agencies and makes every effort to assist you to develop, establish and maintain the required standards for academic success.
Students receive practical experience through clinical placements at health-related agencies across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Rapidly advancing medical therapies and treatments coupled with Canada’s aging population make health care a dynamic place to build your career. When you graduate, you will be able to apply for provincial, national and international employment opportunities as practitioners, educators and managers in community/public health agencies, hospitals, long-term care facilities, primary health-care or acute-care settings, rehabilitation services, clinics, private practices and more. You may also choose to pursue graduate education and go into teaching or research.
