USask and Great Plains College announce Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in Swift Current

Thursday, July 4, 2024

SWIFT CURRENT – The University of Saskatchewan (USask) and Great Plains College are proud to announce a partnership that will bring the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) undergraduate degree program to the Swift Current Campus in fall 2025. 

This new partnership will allow aspiring registered nurses to complete both their pre-professional year of study and the remaining three years of the USask BSN program at Great Plains College. 

“Our community and partners have been asking when Great Plains College will offer a full degree nursing program, and today, we’re thrilled to announce this important partnership with the University of Saskatchewan that will bring the USask Bachelor of Science in Nursing to Swift Current,” said Brad Mahon, President and CEO at Great Plains College. 

“Registered nurses are a vital part of the healthcare system and we’re thrilled to provide a local option for future nurses to complete their education and prepare for a rewarding career in healthcare.” 

Students will be able to complete the 10 required pre-professional courses starting in fall 2024 at Great Plains College, giving them the credits needed to apply to USask College of Nursing to complete years two, three, and four of their nursing degree starting in fall 2025 at the USask distributed nursing site at Great Plains College in Swift Current. 

“The University of Saskatchewan College of Nursing feels strongly about students being able to obtain degree-level nursing education, regardless of where they live in Saskatchewan,” said College of Nursing Dean Dr. Solina Richter (DCur). 

“Offering the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in Swift Current, in partnership with Great Plains College, is an excellent opportunity for students to learn where they live in southwest Saskatchewan.”   

Great Plains College will have capacity to accept between 10 and 20 BSN students annually.

Applications for the pre-professional year starting in September 2024 are open now. Anyone interested in pursing their nursing degree is encouraged to contact a student adviser at Great Plains College to learn more. 

“We know that many students stay where they learn so we’re optimistic that this program, in addition to the Continuing Care Assistant and Practical Nursing programs, will help meet the needs of our local healthcare facilities,” added Keleah Ostrander, vice president, programs and students at Great Plains College.
