University of Regina program trains Francophone nurses

A unique partnership at the University of Regina prepares future nurses to care for Saskatchewan patients in French as well as in English. The program combines the expertise of the university’s La Cité French language hub – essentially a Francophone university within the University of Regina – with its Faculty of Nursing’s registered nursing program. It offers students the chance to pursue their nursing training in French and go on to deliver patient care in either official language.

Prior to the program, students who wanted to study nursing in French had to leave Saskatchewan. Now, students can train to be bilingual nurses in the province. When they graduate, Francophones in Saskatchewan will have access to health services in their official language of choice.

Western Economic Diversification Canada funded the program through the Economic Development Initiative (EDI). The EDI supports economic diversification and partnerships for small businesses and not-for-profit organizations in Official Language minority communities across Canada.
