Nursing as a profession blends science with caring, and technology with humanity. Nurses are researchers, clinicians, and advocates, all of whom support individuals, families, and communities to attain, maintain, and recover optimal health. Nurses are needed everywhere and work in such varied settings as schools, hospitals, and even cruise ships. Currently, there is a global nursing shortage and students are being recruited from across Canada, the USA and England. During your course of study in Lakehead's Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, you will learn to apply a broad range of concepts from the sciences and liberal arts when caring for clients of all age groups, maximizing health using communication and interpersonal skills, and health promotion and health protection strategies. As a Lakehead nursing student, you will experience the 'cutting edge' of new knowledge, as our faculty and staff incorporate examples of their research into the classroom. Some examples of current research include: the aging process, women's health, AIDS, Aboriginal health, oncology, cardiac disease and much more.
