A Commitment To Sharing
Native Nurses
Entry Program
Lakehead University
Thunder Bay, Ontario
�Lakehead University
Native Nurses Entry Program
Small, modern, and set in a rugged area of
Ontario, Lakehead University offers a wide range
of personal educational opportunities.
Relatively small class sizes encourage communication between students and faculty, allow
greater opportunity for "hands-on" experience in
labs and easier accessibility to a wide range of
facilities as diverse as computers and squash
courts. A variety of campus clubs bring students
together on the basis of shared interests and
goals. Many clubs are involved with local and
national endeavours in addition to serving the
immediate needs of their members. The Student
Union offers each student the opportunity to
become involved in academic, political and social
affairs both on and off-campus. Classic and modern movies are screened on a weekly basis; local
dramatic groups present their work in the campus theatre. Dances and concerts, showcasing
national and regional talent, are held regularly. A
library housing 500,000 volumes, modern laboratories, extensive research facilities, and lecture
rooms of all sizes support the academic activities
of the University. In deference to our northernly
location, many of the buildings are connected by
ground tunnel for comfortable walking during
inclement weather.
The Native Nurses Entry Program is a nine
month preparation program designed to provide
the necessary skills and academic preparation
required for successful completion of the four (4)
year nursing degree program.
The program is based on two (2) semesters of
twelve ( 12) weeks each, as well as a two (2) week
field experience. The student may choose field
experiences in their own community or other
Native health setting.
The program offers four academic preparation
courses and three special-purpose courses taken
over the University academic year.
