4 Nursing electives may be used to customize a student's program. Electives may be used to expand on a number of different areas of nursing or may be used to focus on a particular area of nursing practice.

5 Of the 9 credit hours of non-Nursing electives, no more than 6 credit hours may be at the 100 (introductory) level. Students who graduated from Health Sciences Centre after 1981, or took N311 Microbiology at Red River College after 1989, should contact the BPRN student advisor if they are considering registering for 060.122 Essentials of Microbiology as a non-Nursing elective. Students who completed Anatomy and Physiology at a university level (equivalent to 022.132 and 022.133) in their diploma program should not take any further introductory-level anatomy and physiology courses as their non-Nursing electives. See Courses Which May be Used as Non-Nursing Electives in the BPRN for suggestions regarding Non-Nursing Electives for the BPRN.
