New USask-Lakeland partnership offers Lloydminster nursing students to study locally
Nursing students wishing to stay close to home now have the opportunity to do so in Lloydminster thanks to a new partnership between the University of Saskatchewan and Lakeland College.
“We believe that every student should have access to quality nursing education no matter where they live,” said Dr. Solina Richter, University of Saskatchewan college of nursing dean.
The partnership will see the two educational institutions join for a Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) program.
Richter explained the college is well respected and has the infrastructure needed to support the program like classrooms and a nursing lab.
