World Canada CA Programs

Not the collaborative programs but the program in calgary? My friends really want me to go to calgary as they already go to school there but I dont want to make a decision based on where my friends are but on if the program is good, I know first year the students dont have any nursing classes so that kind of worries me..

Specializes in Cardiology.

The U is a good school, I went through the accelerated track and am starting my Master's there this Fall. That said, Mount Royal University (MRU) has more clinical hours and (in my opinon) a better program. The MRU students doing their clinicals on my unit are very competent.

If you are coming to Calgary for nursing, I would recommend you take a hard look at MRU as well.
