Confederation College is expecting to offer a Bachelor of Nursing Program in several communities across northwestern Ontario this fall.
Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances, Sioux Lookout and Red Lake will all be involved in the program.
Director of Patient Care at Lake of the Woods District Hospital, Leslie Brown says the students would actually register for the program through Lakehead University.
Brown says they need at least 32 students to sign up for the program across the region before it can go ahead.
The last nursing program graduated six students from Kenora.
