The Centre for Nursing Studies (CNS) was established in 1996 and is operated by Eastern Health. It is located at Southcott Hall, 100 Forest Road, in the east end of St. John's. CNS offers a variety of high quality nursing education programs to prepare our graduates to provide excellent patient care across a broad range of health care and social settings. Programs are offered both on-site and by distance delivery.

CNS is the largest nursing school in Newfoundland and Labrador. We have approximately 750 students across all programs, 50 full-time faculty members and, at peak periods, an almost equal number of sessional faculty. Currently, CNS annually admits approximately 120 students to the Bachelor of Nursing (Collaborative) Program and approximately 70 students to the Practical Nursing Program. In addition, CNS provides continuing studies programs (post-basic courses) to Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), re-entry programs for RNs and LPNs, a tailored bridging and re-entry program for internationally educated nurses (IENs), and competency-based assessments of nurses in practice for the Association of Registered Nurses of Newfoundland and Labrador (ARNNL) and regional health authorities as requested. Enrollment in continuing studies programs is variable depending on health care system demand.
