At Cegep de Saint Hyacinthe in Saint-Hyacinthe, Canada, Diploma in Soins infirmiers is offered as a diploma in Nursing programme. The programme runs for 6 semesters. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 23,480 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Soins infirmiers is a technical DEC that prepares students to become registered nurses. Training relies on laboratories equipped to simulate clinical placement environments, including high-fidelity clinical-simulation labs, with equipment matching that used in the partner hospitals where students complete their placements (stages). The program offers a range of nearby placement sites and also provides the possibility of credited placements abroad. Course content integrates concepts related to education from a global and citizenship-oriented perspective, situating clinical practice within a broader social context. The program suits students aiming for a nursing career who want a technical, college-level credential that combines classroom instruction, laboratory simulation, and hands-on clinical placement experience close to the college, with the option of completing part of that clinical experience internationally. It leads toward professional nursing practice and is suited to students drawn to direct patient care in hospital and community health settings.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) with Secondary 4 Science and Technology (ST) and Environmental Science and Technology (STE), or Applied Science and Technology (ATS) and Environmental Science (SE), or Physical Science 436, plus Secondary 5 Chemistry (or Chemistry 534); the Cégep offers a bridging chemistry course for applicants who lack that prerequisite. Places are limited and selection is competitive; the college publishes the average of the last admitted student as a guide to the applicant pool. Vaccination is essential to the program's disease-prevention and health-promotion activities, and a certifying dosage-calculation (posology) test must be passed before clinical placements begin. As with all Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe programs, applicants apply through SRAM and must meet the college's French-proficiency conditions: a French-mastery or placement test where applicable, and the upgrading course 601-013-HY for weaker Secondary 5 French results, per the Cégep's admission-requirements page; every admitted student also sits the college's English placement test.
