Preparing for your future

UNB’s nursing program is designed to equip you with five essential abilities:

  • Knowledge and its application
  • Communication
  • Critical thinking and analytical skills
  • Professional identity and ethics
  • Social justice and effective citizenship

Nursing at UNB

Our curriculum is unique in its focus on primary healthcare, social justice and caring as core values. We emphasize the caring practice of nursing because we know that the human side of the profession is just as important as the technical side.

Our graduates are leading the way as executive directors of hospitals, majors in the Canadian Armed Forces, Canada research chairs and ministerial government positions. They make a difference in their communities, working in harm reduction and providing healthcare around the world.
