The University of British Columbia has announced that it will be launching a new two-year nursing degree program. The program, which is an expansion of the Northern Baccalaureate Nursing Program (NBNP), will be located in downtown Prince George. It will focus on providing a healthcare education opportunity for those living in the North and improving access to healthcare for patients. “The expansion of the Northern Baccalaureate Nursing Program underlines our ongoing commitment to support health services in northern BC while providing education that emphasizes the unique needs of rural and remote care,” said UNBC President Dr Geoff Payne.
