Welcome to the School of Nursing.

The faculty and staff of the School are committed to high quality education and research, and fulfill this mandate by providing opportunities to learners both pre and post registration as a nurse in Ontario.  We offer a four year, a second entry two year, and a registered nurse program leading to a Bachelor of Nursing Science.  There are two streams in the masters program, thesis and non thesis options, and a PhD in nursing.  By offering comprehensive education in nursing, we attract very well qualified learners who excel in the environment at Queen’s University.  

The mission of the School of Nursing is to advance learning and scholarship in the discipline and profession of nursing. Such advancement will be achieved through the educational, scholarly, and clinical pursuits of the student, faculty, and alumnae of the School. 

• Provide excellent undergraduate programs to outstanding students that prepare future nursing leaders
• Prepare Baccalaureate students who will start their practice with evidence based skills
  Work with partners to enhance innovative practice, education, and research
• Increase the visibility of the school within the University, community and profession
• Advance and expand excellent graduate education
  Integrate interprofessional education throughout the programs of the school.

Over the last few years we have established a high fidelity simulation laboratory that allows learners to practice skills prior to placements in clinical settings.  We are able to offer learners experience in nursing research through scholarships and grant funding.  In addition, we organize a yearly conference for alumni and friends of the School of Nursing to show case the exciting projects undertaken by faculty and learners.  Alumni and friends of the School of Nursing have generously donated funds over many years to support scholarships, bursaries, and infrastructure and we are very grateful for their continued support.
