College of Nursing
A career in nursing is as rewarding as it is challenging. At the College of Nursing, we value the important contribution of nurses when it comes to high quality and compassionate care and patient safety. With a career that can lead you to work in clinical practice, education, research, leadership and policy change, we are here to support you as you navigate your journey toward a profession that changes lives every day.
To address Manitoba’s growing nursing shortage, the College of Nursing is expanding seat capacity in the Bachelor of Nursing program at Fort Garry campus and accelerating the time to completion. Effective Fall 2022, the BN program will be delivered across three terms per year. Students entering the program will attend classes in each of the Fall, Winter and Summer (May to August) terms and complete the program in 28 months. In addition, a third intake of 120 nursing students will be admitted to each calendar year starting in Summer 2023. Please check back soon for additional information.
What we offer
Our facilities
Helen Glass Centre for Nursing
Located on the Fort Garry campus, the facility features hospital and community simulation laboratories, distance education classrooms, computer labs and video-equipped assessment rooms.
Sim centre
Students have the chance to develop their critical thinking and skills in a risk-free environment designed to reflect real-life settings and situations. Our interactive simulation rooms include a pediatric unit, two maternity units, an adult unit, as well as a multipurpose space. We have the ability to make the simulation high fidelity by using manikins or standardized patients, or low fidelity using task trainers and role playing.
Skills lab
Our skills lab gives students the chance to understand the patient experience, practice skills in a safe environment and gain experience required for interdisciplinary teamwork.
(CAre) Lab
The interactive CAregiver Communication Research Environment (CAre) Lab at the Grace General Hospital focuses on enhancing students’ and clinicians’ empathic communication skills with patients, families and caregivers.
Dr. Margaret Elder Hart Heritage Room
This commemorative space is named in honour of Dr. Margaret Elder Hart, past director of the UM School of Nursing (1948-1972). It bears her name in recognition of her contribution to nursing education and her lifelong interest in nursing history.
