Overview

Curriculum includes both nursing theory and practice, and other topics such as anatomy, physiology, ethics, pharmacotherapeutics, patient safety and leadership concepts.

Humber is the only English speaking college in Ontario with access to an on-campus cadaver lab for nursing students. Combine that with small class sizes, leading-edge simulation labs, bioscience and anatomy labs, and extensive clinical work placement opportunities - Humber students have the competitive edge.
