Oulton renovates campus, expands nursing program to address nursing shortage

Oulton College is renovating its campus and expanding its nursing program to help address New Brunswick’s nursing shortage. The college will create new classrooms and simulation labs where nursing and paramedicine students can gain hands-on training. These renovations will add 300 seats to the college’s nursing programs, increasing capacity to over 400 students and eliminating waitlists. “By expanding our nursing capacity, we’re directly contributing to the sustainability of New Brunswick’s healthcare system and creating long-term value for students, families, and the broader community,” said Oulton CFO Aaron Robichaud. Oulton is investing $3M in the project, which is expected to be completed by January 2026.
