Welcome to the College of Nursing
Our faculty and staff welcome you to the College of Nursing and invite you to experience the future of nursing education in Saskatchewan. Here at the University of Saskatchewan, we are proud of the history of our campus. For over 70 years nursing has made a contribution to this academic community.
In July , 2007 I moved to Saskatchewan from Atlantic Canada to become Dean. As a newcomer to the province, the university, and the college, I experienced a genuineness as I interacted with people:
To make a difference
To try new ideas
And
To be creative
Underlying that was a real sense of pride of who we are as the people of Saskatchewan. This is what our college is about, Making sure that as our students experience that sense of place, as learners and also as health professionals in Saskatchewan.
The College of Nursing serves the province with three sites for students to take their nursing program: Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert.
We are one of six colleges that comprise a newly formed Council of Health Sciences Deans. The colleges are creating an Interprofessional approach to health sciences education.
In 2013 the Saskatoon site will have a new building that will not only house Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy & Nutrition and Dentistry but will provide infrastructure support for our three sites as we begin new and innovative ways of delivering nursing education.
In 2011 the College of Nursing will move to a new Distributive Learning Model to better support nursing education across the province, particularly in rural and remote settings.
As you tour across our website I invite you to meet our faculty. Listen as they share their stories of being a researcher, scholar and teacher for nursing. The site is interactive so send an email if would like to know more or wish to become part of a faculty member's program of work. We need you to help us make an even greater contribution to nursing knowledge.

Given that our college is located across the province it is important as the Dean that I have a way to communicate directly with students. I do this using my Deans Blog where I podcast monthly and respond to blog messages from listeners.
The College of Nursing is about investing in people. We have a vision for nursing education within Saskatchewan that engages with communities across the province.
We acknowledge the skills valued by employers in the public and private sectors requires that importance be placed "on shared leadership for learning. We invite you to join our college and share in making a difference for nursing education in Canada.
