Description

Diverse and open with spectacular views! Kamloops, in the heart of Southern British Columbia, lies in a spectacular natural setting of river valleys, semi-arid grasslands, pine and fir forests, lakes, and mountain peaks. It is also the traditional territory of the Secwépemc people. Friendly and welcoming, Kamloops offers a safe and supportive environment, affordability, four seasons of outdoor adventures, a wide range of sporting events and a rich cultural scene. The city is a convenient 3.5-hour drive or 45-minute flight from Vancouver.

TRU gives students the advantage of small class sizes, the availability of undergraduate research and a centrally located campus. More than 26,000 students study at TRU either on campus or online. They consist of 10 per cent Indigenous students and more than 30 per cent international students from around the globe.

TRU and the School of Nursing value equity, diversity, and inclusivity and are committed to the enactment of the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls to action. As a research university TRU supports faculty through the Office of Research and Graduate studies with opportunities for funding and research development. We are at an exciting stage of growth with a new Nursing and Population Health building that includes state of the art simulation labs and research Centre for Brain Health and Wellness. We are seeking dynamic team players to meet the educational needs of the healthcare system. Currently, the School of Nursing offers MN, MN-NP, BScN, PN (Williams Lake only), and HCA programs.
