Does Redeemer University offer nursing? Health programs and routes into a BScN
Redeemer University is a university in the Hamilton area. Searchers often ask about nursing there, so here is what the official site lists and how someone might reach a nursing degree from a health-sciences start.
What the school offers (nursing)
- No nursing degree listed: Redeemer’s Degrees, Majors and Programs page does not list a nursing degree (checked October 2026).
- Health programs listed: Health Sciences (BHSc or BSc, as a major or minor), Health Sciences – Pre-Medicine (BSc) and Kinesiology (BKin or BSc).
- BScN as a further-study option: Redeemer’s Health Sciences page lists a BScN among the further degrees graduates can pursue, alongside several master’s programs. The page does not describe the program as a pre-nursing track, so confirm with the nursing school you are targeting how it treats this degree.
- One route to consider: McMaster’s School of Nursing describes a 20-month Accelerated (F) Stream BScN for students coming from a university science program. See the McMaster page on this site, and check its entry requirements before counting on this route.
Becoming licensed after graduating
In Ontario, nurses are registered by the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO). Its page for Ontario graduates lists a registration examination for your nursing category and the jurisprudence examination among the requirements, and says registered nurse applicants write the NCLEX-RN. Registration depends on completing a nursing education program approved or recognized by the CNO, not on a health-sciences degree alone.
How to apply
For Redeemer’s own programs, use the admissions pages on redeemer.ca. For a nursing degree elsewhere in Ontario, each school sets its own process; McMaster’s program pages are summarized on this site.
How Fiabita’s Study Lab can help students here
If you start in health sciences at Redeemer, Study Lab can turn your own course notes into quizzes and flashcards for anatomy, physiology and lab values, which are common building blocks for later nursing study.
Fiabita is not affiliated with Redeemer University, and Study Lab does not replace your program or your instructors. AI-generated content can contain errors, so check it against your course material.
