Canadian Indigenous applicants are permitted to apply to the Mahkwa omushki kiim: Pathway to Indigenous Nursing Education (PINE) program to complete their pre-requisite courses (and receive the supports indicated on the PINE program page). 

PINE is not an application to the Bachelor of Nursing program. We do have a Canadian Indigenous Category that Indigenous applicants may choose to apply under for admission, but it’s not required. The course requirements are the same, more information can be found on the Bachelor of Nursing Program applicant admission requirements page.

PINE offers a combination of academic, personal and cultural supports to prepare First Nations, Métis and Inuit students for entrance into our Bachelor of Nursing (BN) degree program and to assist them throughout the program.
