Community Engagement

Welcome! Tanisi! Edlanet’e! Doken ya un! Token ya un! Anin Sikwa!

The College of Nursing, with sites in Treaties 4, 6 and 10, and the Métis homeland, is working with Saskatchewan’s Indigenous communities to build local nursing capacity and generate knowledge through research. We are striving to lead change in the way health care is currently delivered to contribute to the improved health and well-being of Indigenous families in our province.

We are proud of our University of Saskatchewan Community of Indigenous Nursing (UCIN) program, an Indigenous student support service formerly known as the Native Access Program to Nursing (NAPN), that has helped the College graduate more Indigenous nurses since its inception in 1984 than any other program in Canada. Currently, our UCIN advisors provide support to just over 200 Indigenous nursing students across the province. They also help anyone considering the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program to successfully navigate a Pathway into the College and out into the workforce, to start their career as a Registered Nurse.

The College of Nursing continues to prioritize its efforts to engage with Indigenous students, health professionals, stakeholders and communities to build a culturally safe educational environment and a culturally competent nursing workforce for the province of Saskatchewan.
