About the Program

Nursing is a three-year program that blends classroom studies and nursing labs with clinical fieldwork in various hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Our mission is to develop graduates recognized as outstanding nurses providing compassionate and quality care, focusing on the unique needs of patients and their families.

Students experience a variety of Francophone and Anglophone clinical settings such as emergency, medical and surgical care, pediatrics, maternity, ambulatory care, mental health and gerontology. A DEC in Nursing will provide an opportunity to write the provincial licensing exam in order to begin employment as a registered nurse. Our graduates also have the opportunity to pursue continued studies in the DEC-BAC program with a university in Quebec, such as McGill University, Université de Sherbrooke and Université de Montreal.

Certification requirements

In order to become a practicing nurse, graduates must pass the l’Ordre des infirmiers et infirmières du Québec (OIIQ) licensing examination. Students must also demonstrate their ability to function in French in order to meet the needs of their clientele, thus they may be required to pass an examination set by the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF).

Québec Perspective Scholarship

Québec Perspective scholarships are offered to students who have completed their full-time study term and who meet all the eligibility requirements for the scholarship program.

Eligible college or university programs (including Nursing) are designed to increase the number of qualified individuals in essential public services and strategic economic sectors faced with workforce shortages.

The scholarships will be awarded after each completed study term. The amount of the scholarships is $1500 at the college level.
