Three Decades of Nursing Education

Its curriculum was developed through the collaborative work of all of the province’s schools of nursing and was first implemented in the 1996–97 academic year. For three decades, it has set the standard for nursing education in Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Faculty of Nursing remains proud to help deliver it today, alongside the Centre for Nursing Studies and Western Regional School of Nursing.
