This program has been developed in response to the critical shortage of Nurses in Quebec. The objective of this intensive nursing course is to prepare students for the challenging and exciting role of the graduate nurse in a 24-month time frame. The reason we are able to offer the intensive program is that we are requiring as pre-requisites the General Education courses normally included in a traditional 3-year nursing program. The remaining nursing courses can then be compressed into a shorter, more intensive program. This program gives the student a college diploma in Nursing (DEC) and leads to a 2 year Bachelor of nursing program (BN) at McGill University pending acceptance to the university.
This program follows the same curriculum as the 3 year Program. It is based on a ‘needs’ framework. Students learn how to identify clients’ basic health needs such as comfort, safety, sleep, nutrition, elimination, oxygenation and self-esteem. Students learn the knowledge, skills and tools nurses use to care for clients who cannot meet their own needs. Experience in the classroom, the teaching laboratory and the clinical environment helps students develop skills in communication, decision-making, caring, physical care and teaching. These and other concepts are studied and applied in increasing depth throughout the program of study. Graduates must successfully pass a national registration exam in order to practice nursing in Quebec and other provinces. The license is granted by the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers de Québec (OIIQ). |
