Corner Brook, NL

Second Year BScN

“My favourite part of the BScN program is the clinical experience. It’s so much fun to put into practice what we’ve learned in the classroom and labs. Before starting this program, I thought I’d love to work in Maternal Newborn, and as soon as I walked onto the unit during clinical, it felt like home to me. I still feel like this is where I would love to work!”

Third Year BScN

“At the Western Regional School of Nursing, the instructors are reliable and always willing to help. This is my favourite part about the BScN program because I feel comfortable asking questions even the simplest ones. While the BScN program can be challenging, the friendships and support systems you build with other students will help you face those challenges and enjoy the rewarding aspects of the program.”

Corner Brook, NL

Fourth Year BScN 

“There’s something incredibly fulfilling about connecting with patients, building relationships, and supporting them through their healthcare journeys. I’m drawn to the Emergency and ICU areas because I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy the challenge of critical thinking. Making a direct impact on patient’s lives when they need it most and providing care during those crucial moments is deeply rewarding.”

South River, NL

Second Year BScN

“Clinicals give BScN students the opportunity to practice skills learned in the lab and apply concepts learned from theory, helping to tie everything together. The BScN program is both challenging and rewarding, as there’s no feeling quite like making a difference in someone’s life!”

 

Sophie Kearsey

Deer Lake, NL

Fourth Year BScN

“The courses in the BScN program blend theory with hands-on practice. It takes a lot of dedication to be successful, but it’s incredibly rewarding and well worth the hard work. The program is also very interesting, with emergency being the field of nursing that is the most fascinating to me.”

 

Ann Lieb

Ramea, NL

Fourth Year BScN

“I enjoyed the clinical and preceptorships in the BScN program because they helped me feel prepared to enter the nursing field. I had a great experience in my community health clinical, which has made me realize that I’d like to work in that area. Before starting the program, I was worried about the time it would take to complete, but it has gone by so quickly and has definitely been worth the time and effort invested.”

Glovertown, NL

Third Year BScN

“I don’t think there are many programs or schools where everyone feels like family – even the professors – but WRSON does. No one will cheer you on more than your peers and faculty in this incredible program. Starting directly out of high school and moving away from home was a challenge, but after my first day of clinical, I knew I had made the right decision. The joy and honour I felt that day reassured me that I had found my purpose, and every challenge was worth it.”
