Nursing education encompasses professions such as Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, Registered Psychiatric Nurse, Nurse Practitioner and Continuing Care Assistant/Health Care Aide.
Students who are interested in exploring a career in nursing may visit the websites of the provincial providers of nursing programs:
In fall 2022, the province expanded domestic nursing education and training by 150 seats for registered nurses, psychiatric nurses and nurse practitioners through the University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina and Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
Students interested in an alternate program within Health Sciences can direct their questions to their post-secondary institution of choice or visit Opportunities - healthcareersinsask.ca.
For information on waitlists or future registered nursing intakes, please direct questions to one of the two provincial nursing program providers – School of Nursing - Saskatchewan Polytechnic or College of Nursing - University of Saskatchewan
Both Registered Nursing programs (University of Regina/Saskatchewan Polytechnic and University of Saskatchewan) offer the Post-Degree and Upper Year entry into the program. This allows students to apply if they have other nursing backgrounds (e.g. Licensed Practical Nursing) or have completed a baccalaureate degree in another field.
The University of Saskatchewan's Post-Degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing is an accelerated registered nursing pathway that allows students to fast track through the program within two years.
