Program details
Overview
Nursing (Soins infirmiers) is a technical Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC), program code 180.A0, delivered by Cégep de Victoriaville over six sessions (three years) at its Victoriaville campus. The program combines classroom instruction with clinical placements integrated throughout all sessions, giving students hands-on experience in medical-surgical nursing, pediatrics, obstetrics, mental health, and ambulatory care alongside hospitals and other health care settings. Students learn to physically and mentally evaluate patients, develop nursing care plans, respond to emergencies, apply clinical assessment methods, and collaborate within interdisciplinary care teams. A DEC-BAC pathway agreement lets graduates continue into a related university nursing degree. Beyond hospitals, graduates can work in rehabilitation centres, private clinics, and correctional settings, in both acute and long-term care roles. The program suits students with an interest in health sciences who have strong observational and analytical skills, emotional resilience, and a commitment to patient care. A laptop meeting minimum specifications (Windows 11, 250GB SSD, 8GB RAM, i5 processor or equivalent) is required, and students should budget roughly $800 to $1,200 per year for textbooks and program-specific materials.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to Soins infirmiers requires Science et technologie de l'environnement (or Science et environnement) from Secondary 4, and Chimie from Secondary 5, plus the Cégep's general admission conditions; applicants missing the chemistry course can complete it through two complementary courses offered in the program's first two sessions. The general conditions require a Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) from the youth or adult sector, or a vocational diploma (DEP) supplemented by fifth-secondary language of instruction, fifth-secondary second language and fourth-secondary mathematics, with levelling courses possible for older diplomas and conditional admission available to applicants short by up to six DES units if completed in the first semester. Instruction is in French and no separate English-language test score is published. The program pages state nothing about a competitive average, immunization, or criminal record check for this cohort.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRACQ (sracq.qc.ca): for the Fall 2027 (August) intake three admission rounds close 1 March, 1 May and 1 June 2027, and for Winter 2027 (January) entry rounds close 1 November, 1 December 2026 and 2 January 2027, each later round admitting only while seats remain. The Cegep does not publish a fixed international application deadline; international applicants follow a separate admission process and must hold a valid CAQ and study permit by the start of August for Fall entry, so early application is recommended. Admission is otherwise processed on a rolling basis as documents are received. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
