The Western-Fanshawe Collaborative Bachelor of Science Nursing (BScN) program offers students the opportunity to study either at Fanshawe or Western for the first two years and then at Western in year three and four. Graduates are eligible to apply to the College of Nurses of Ontario for registration.
