Nursing is a three-year, six-session technical Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC, program code 180.A0) offered by Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles, taught primarily in person at the Gaspé campus, with Carleton-sur-Mer students receiving specialized courses by telecast and general education courses in person. The curriculum covers human anatomy and physiology, nursing care methods and clinical techniques, health problems across life stages, microbiology and immunology, pharmacotherapy and medication administration, therapeutic communication, and care for mental health, geriatric, pediatric and perinatal populations, alongside general education requirements. Nine clinical internships begin in the second session and include rotations in medicine-surgery units, perinatal care, pediatrics, long-term care, mental health settings and ambulatory care. The program suits students seeking to become licensed nurses through direct patient-care training combining classroom, laboratory and hospital-based clinical learning. The college reports a 98.1 percent employment rate in Quebec for recent graduates.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to Nursing follows the cégep's general collegial admission requirements: a Quebec Secondary School Diploma (DES) or Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP), with Secondary 5 Language of Instruction, Secondary 5 Second Language, and Secondary 4 Mathematics completed. The programme's own admission page adds particular requirements: Secondary 4 Science and Technology of the Environment, and Secondary 5 Chemistry (in effect since fall 2018). International students must, before arriving in Canada, obtain an authenticated birth certificate, needed to complete the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ) registration required for the programme's clinical placements. Instruction is in French; the page publishes no separate French- or English-language test score for admission. No portfolio or interview is described.
