There are a number of pre-placement requirements that need to be met PRIOR to students attending placement in the nursing program.  You can find a checklist of all requirements on the Nursing Program Office website - Pre-Placement Requirements.

Students in the first year of their respective program have the following due dates:

Program	Due date
Collaborative BScN	First Friday in October
RPN to BScN Bridge	First Friday in December

It is important that students begin the process of obtaining the mandatory Pre-Placement Requirements well in advance of their stated deadline. The program recommends students begin the process as per the timelines stated below:

Collaborative BScN	June/July
RPN to BScN Bridge	September/October

Students who do not meet all Pre-Placement Requirements by the stated deadline will not be eligible to proceed to practicum placement.

Placements within the Nursing program are assigned based on availability and typically are within one hour of campus by car.  Although some extenuating circumstances may be considered, you may be placed in any affiliated placement site used by the program. You are responsible for any costs associated with transportation to and from practicum. 

Before undertaking the BScN program, students should be aware that they will be expected to perform competencies that meet the Standards of Practice of the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), so they are prepared for the clinical environment. View the CNO Standards and Guidelines.
