Program historyA strong start Over the years, nurses have entered the profession through a variety of means. At one point, nurses learned on the job, as a kind of apprenticeship. By the 1950s, nursing students in North America joined residential programs, where they lived in the institutions where they trained. More recently, nursing diplomas could be earned through Ontario community colleges, and degrees from provincial universities. In 2000, Ontario provincial legislation was passed that assigned the undergraduate education of nurses to degree-granting institutions. Beginning in 2005, all nursing graduates will need a baccalaureate nursing degree to become a registered nurse and enter the profession. Ryerson University, Centennial College, and George Brown College first joined forces in 1997 to begin development of this dynamic new program. In the fall of 2001, we welcomed our first class of Collaborative Degree Program students. The first two years of the program are taken at any one of the three campuses. The curriculum is consistent between all three locations. The last two years are taken on campus at Ryerson University, in downtown Toronto. All four years of the program include practice placements, and faculty from all three schools are involved in those placements in all years. That means that students from the two colleges remain in touch with their original schools, even after entering their last two years at Ryerson. |
