USask BSN, TRU veterinary programs receive accreditation

Two health-related programs at Canadian universities have recently been formally recognized. The University of Saskatchewan College of Nursing’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) has received a seven-year approval rating from the College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan. This rating, which is the highest level of approval possible from the College, enables graduates of the program to write the national licensing exam and become registered nurses. Thompson Rivers University’s Veterinary Technology Diploma program has been accredited by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. The accreditation means that those who complete their program and pass the Veterinary Technician National Examination will be able to work as registered veterinary technologists nearly anywhere across North America.
