Program details
Overview
Techniques de soins infirmiers (180.A0) is a technical Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) at Cégep de Trois-Rivières that prepares students for the nursing profession. According to the program page, graduates learn to assess a patient's state of health and carry out care plans, as well as teach disease-prevention methods to patients and their families. The role covers a range of client groups, including children, adults, and older adults. The curriculum includes biology courses on the structure and functioning of the human body, alongside the development of assessment and care methods. By the end of the program and its clinical placements, students are expected to have mastered intervention skills used in areas such as surgery, perinatal care, and mental health, which are central to nursing practice. The page highlights strong employment prospects and describes learning through immersive simulation using mannequins as part of the training. It suits students drawn to direct patient care across varied clinical settings and age groups, combining biological science coursework with simulation-based skills training and clinical placements to prepare for professional practice as a nurse.
