University College of the North will celebrate its 25-year partnership with the University of Manitoba in offering the Baccalaureate of Nursing degree at UCN campuses.

 

 Since it began, the program has produced over 500 registered nurses, many of whom have gone on to work in Northern Manitoba.

 

A special event will provide an opportunity to showcase UCN’s Clinical Skills Laboratory, Simulation Laboratory, and Virtual Reality Simulation Laboratory.

 

According to Helga Bryant, UCN Dean of Health, the successful partnership between UCN and U of M has made a real difference in healthcare in the North.

The event will be held today at 2 p.m., at The Pas Campus located at 436  7th Street East.

 

A Thompson Campus event will take place on Wednesday, also at 2 p.m.
