Congratulations to Nipissing’s recent SPP graduates

Congratulations to Nipissing’s recent graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the Scholar Practitioner Program (SPP).

Pictured are nearly all of the attending SPP graduates, faculty and program supporters at the ceremony on October 17th in Hamilton.

The Scholar Practitioner Program is an innovative second degree nursing program for university graduates to achieve a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The program was designed by Nipissing’s School of Nursing, the University Health Network, the Hospital for Sick Children, Baycrest, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, Mount Sinai and Toronto Public Health, to reshape how and where students learn to nurse while providing a rich and diverse learning experience that maximizes resources like time, space, money and energy. It is highly learner centred and responsive to changes in contemporary health care. It also provides greater opportunity for students to work and learn in a variety of health care settings, receiving hands-on, practical experience and directing their own learning, with nursing academics.
