At the frontlines of healthcare, nurses are figures of wellness, support, and strength. At Trent, we emphasize a well-rounded approach to healthcare and will prepare you for success whether you want to work in a hospital setting or somewhere less traditional. Beginning in year one, you will be immersed in both theory and practice through lectures, seminars, case studies, simulation labs, online coursework, and clinical practice. You will not only develop the important skills necessary for nursing, you’ll also have the opportunity to practice what you’ve learned through a range of hospital and community placement settings.
