Hi I am about graduating from MRU and I should agree with Bre90. Mount Royal has a little more hands on especially after U of C had changed their program in 2010 (I believe). The U of C students in third year are introduced to acute settings (Hospital) for the first time, which the students have to learn the basic patient care to meds to critical thinking at once. For that reason, I believe MRU has a little more balanced program. Although, I have met great nurses from both UofC and MRU. Like Bre90 said, it doesn't matter what school you graduate as long as you pass CRNE and know your stuff. Also, midwifery program does exist at MRU. It is fairly new program (2nd year) and is separated from Nursing. You can visit MRU website as well as contact the faculties for more info. Good luck!
