Program details
Overview
Soins infirmiers (après un DEP) is a DEC nursing pathway at Cégep de Saint-Jérôme reserved for holders of a Diplôme d'études professionnelles in Santé, assistance et soins infirmiers, allowing them to earn the same nursing DEC awarded through the standard route without repeating foundational coursework already covered in their DEP. Officially coded 180.B0, the pathway totals 1,515 hours of study, of which 630 hours are recognized directly from the DEP, compared with the 2,145 hours required in the regular 180.A0 program. Classes are scheduled three days a week, Tuesday through Thursday, rather than five, to accommodate students who are already working. On completion, graduates receive the identical DEC in Soins infirmiers issued to students from the standard pathway and can pursue the same options afterward, including a DEC-BAC university transfer or direct entry into the nursing workforce. The program suits practising auxiliary nurses who already hold the relevant DEP and want to advance their credential toward a full nursing DEC on a condensed, work-compatible schedule rather than starting the diploma from the beginning as a general career changer would.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM (Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain), paying a $30 per-application fee: Fall 2027 entry's equal-consideration date is 1 March 2027, with further rounds around late April and late May while seats remain, while Winter 2027 entry opened 15 September 2026 with a 1 November 2026 equal-consideration date and a late-November second round. Cégep de Saint-Jérôme's own international-admissions page describes a five-step process and a 4-6 week review period but sets no fixed opening or closing date, directing applicants to SRAM instead, whose system-wide window for Fall 2027 international entry runs 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
