Nursing Program Accredited

A significant designation for a nursing program involving both Lakehead University and Confederation College.

The Collaborative Nursing Program has received a 7-year accreditation from the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing.

L.U.'s Director of Nursing Karen Poole says is testament to the efforts of both institutions.

"To us it's such a success story," says Poole, "and it shows how well we've worked together. It allowed up to showcase the strengths of each institution brings to the Collaborative program. We couldn't be happier. It's the highest level of accreditation so its an extremely positive outcome."

More than 400 students are registered in the four-year program at the Thunder Bay campuses.
