NB, Beal University in Maine partner to provide more training capacity for nursing students

The Government of New Brunswick has partnered with Beal University in Maine to provide an opportunity for NB students to enrol in Beal’s nursing program. Beal offers a three-year accelerated nursing program that will enable students to complete their education faster so that they can alleviate pressures in NB’s health system. The program includes an 18-month nursing associate’s degree and a 14-month bachelor of science in nursing. NB students will complete their clinical placements in the province, and will also be offered a reduced tuition rate of $42K and a $6K “incentive grant” from NB to help with the costs of studying outside of Canada if they agree to work in NB for one year after graduation.
