Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) to BScN Blended Delivery

The School of Nursing has formed a number of partnerships with Ontario health care agencies that allow current RPNs the opportunity to study part-time towards a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. This program is offered through distance education and takes five years to complete.

Theory based courses are offered through online delivery, while practicum based courses are offered either within the health care agency that the student is employed by or one of our other partner agencies.​​​

Nipissing University’s programs in the School of Nursing are approved by the College of Nurses of Ontario.
Our programs are also accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing.
The School of Nursing is proud to be designated by the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario as a Best Practice Spotlight Organization.
