Overview

Understand the discovery, integration, application and dissemination of knowledge delimited by rigor and ethical integrity.

The Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) program produces graduates who have the knowledge, values, attitudes and competencies reflecting the philosophy, nature and scope of nursing of diverse populations in small urban, northern rural, and remote communities. The learner will develop a richer understanding of the discipline of nursing and its relationship to the context of health care service delivery and policy issues. The program also broadens learners' understanding of nursing by encouraging them to engage with scholars from other departments and disciplines as well as those with other professional experiences.

All streams in the MScN program are delivered remotely, designed for mature learners who do not reside in Sudbury.  There are onsite requirements for the Nurse Practitioner program only.

The deadline for applications to the program is February 1st for each year for Fall entry. Entry is in the Fall only.

黑料吃瓜不打烊 offers 4 masters programs in French and in English that focus on research or clinical practice.  All program outcomes are informed by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing’s four guiding principles for masters nursing education: 

• Programs provide a comprehensive and substantive understanding of nursing knowledge, and a critical awareness of complex problems and/or new insights.
• Programs foster the ability to contribute to nursing knowledge through systematic inquiry, knowledge development, translation, and scholarship.
• Programs provide practice-based learning experiences to foster the use of the best available evidence, theories, and expertise in an advanced nursing role.
• Programs prepare students to use advanced communication, collaboration and consultation abilities to participate and lead in diverse contexts.
• For all streams, students will be registered in courses during the Fall, Winter, and Spring semesters.

Program options:

[MScN-PHCNP]
The Nurse Practitioner program is delivered with the provincial consortium and has some onsite requirements and also clinical placements. Our designated geographical boundaries extend from Sudbury, north to Moosonee and Moose Factory, northwest to Hornpayne, west to Wawa, east to Deep River and Lindsay, and South to Barrie.  As such, our program is offered largely by distance delivery to accommodate the needs of students residing in Northern Ontario.

Advanced Practice Nursing Stream (course based) [MScN-ANP]
The Advanced Practice Nursing stream is designed to produce graduates who are capable of discovering, integrating, applying and disseminating knowledge into their advanced nursing practice.  There are ten courses to complete.

Thesis (research) Stream [MScN]
The thesis stream is designed to produce graduates who will contribute to the creation, application, and dissemination of nursing knowledge.  There are six courses to complete.  Students will then conduct a formal research project and conclude with a formal defence of their work.

Post Nurse Practitioner Certificate Stream (course based) [MScN]
黑料吃瓜不打烊 has developed an MScN program for people who have previously completed an NP diploma or certificate without a masters degree.  The post-nurse practitioner certificate program is a course based option with no clinical requirements.

Key Features

There are three streams in the program: Thesis, Advanced Practice Nursing (course-based), and Nurse Practitioner.

Courses are offered remotely, synchronously and asynchronously.
