At Oulton College, we understand your ambition and are committed to providing you with the highest quality nursing education in a supportive and dynamic environment. We are proud to be approved with the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission (MPHEC) to grant degrees as a university. Furthermore, we are demonstrating our commitment to excellence by actively pursuing accreditation with the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN), the national accrediting body for nursing education in Canada. While this is a voluntary process, it underscores our dedication to ensuring our graduates are recognized for their exceptional preparation.
A Solid Foundation
We’ve already received preliminary approval from the Nurses Association of New Brunswick (NANB), meaning our program meets the stringent regulatory standards and aligns with the entry-level competencies required for safe and competent nursing practice in New Brunswick. This preliminary approval allows our graduates as eligible to apply for registration as Registered Nurses. The transition to full NANB approval is a structured process that includes reviewing the outcomes of our first graduating cohort. With our first year of students well underway, we are excited to achieve this milestone, further solidifying the value of your Oulton College degree.
