Transition Courses: Nursing and Health

Transition Nursing and Health courses are suitable for nationally or internationally educated health professionals or students entering or participating in entry-level health programs. Nationally educated nurses, for example, may choose these courses to support a transition in their professional practice or to receive credit towards a post-diploma undergraduate degree program. Internationally educated nurses, for example, may choose some of these courses to support their Canadian licensure. Students in entry-level nursing or health programs may opt for the theory courses as an elective or find a course suitable for transfer credit towards a course in their program of study.
