School of Nursing

Graduates at Nipissing University’s School of Nursing continue to excel, with the newly released 2024 Nursing Registration Exams Report from the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) once again highlighting Nipissing as a top-performing institution in the province. The report shows that 96% of Nipissing's nursing graduates passed their registration exams on their first attempt, a result that surpasses the provincial average and affirms the program’s reputation for excellence.

The patient later expressed heartfelt gratitude in an email to Nipissing University, sharing that Marco Tanuyan’s intervention was the reason they survived the heart attack. "His CPR technique kept me alive after my heart stopped thrice and required paddles twice," the patient wrote. "Thanks to his skills and quick thinking, I’m now back with my family and undergoing rehabilitation."

Only ten people a year receive this award in Canada, and Laura Killam of Cambrian College in Sudbury and Nipissing University of North Bay is one of them. Killam, a faculty member in both Cambrian’s and Nipissing’s Schools of Nursing, has been chosen as one of the 2023 recipients of a 3M National Teaching Fellowship.

Faculty in the School of Nursing have published a new paper in the Clinical Simulation in Nursing journal titled "P Stands for Pivot: Pivoting Face-to-Face Practicum to Virtual Simulation during the Pandemic".
