Continuing Nursing Studies

The CNS Continuing Nursing Studies Department offers professional development courses, re-entry programs, and post-basic specialty programs based on assessed needs.

Course offerings are designed to:

Facilitate ongoing professional development within a rapidly changing health care system;
Support and assist registered nurses and licensed practical nurses to maintain theoretical and clinical expertise;
Make learning accessible and affordable through distance education.

We are committed to developing and maintaining nursing competency by providing post-basic specialty and professional development courses that are accessible to all nurses.

As a leader in professional development education, the CNS empowers learners by providing timely, outcome-based, user-friendly learning resources that stimulate the desire for continuous learning and quality improvement.

The learning experiences are custom-designed and based on adult learning principles. They ensure the learner’s goals are achieved.
