  • The focus is on concept-based and intentional clinical learning.  Intentional clinical learning is a purposeful approach to providing students with the foundational knowledge and skills to provide safe quality patient care in today's complex health settings. 
  • The program begins with admission to RDC in Year 1 as a student in the University of Alberta Collaborative Baccalaureate Nursing Program with RDC. For the first three years, students are registered as RDC students. During Year 3 students apply for official admission to the University of Alberta for their fourth year. As long as students meet the criteria (see below), they continue at RDC to complete their 4th year.
  • After completing year 4, students will convocate from the U of A with a BScN. As a graduate, they will be eligible to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). This is required for a license to practice in Alberta as a registered nurse (RN).
  • The goal of the collaborative program is to provide a comprehensive curricular approach to student learning that is learner-centered and based on the development of the discipline, profession, and practice components with mutual responsibility for teaching and learning by faculty and students. Year one of the program is a foundational year, years two to four build on this foundation. In addition, a 3 credit English course and one elective are part of the program.
