Program details
Overview
Soins infirmiers is a technical DEC preparing students for a nursing career through a mix of practice-oriented coursework (biology, psychology, sociology), clinical placements, and theoretical courses spanning several nursing specialties. The program develops problem-solving skills through case analysis and instruction in care methods, aiming to prepare graduates broadly for entry into the healthcare field. Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu's page highlights a clinical placement beginning in the very first session, with some placements taking place in innovative settings, including international locations and northern Quebec communities. Students train in labs described as reflecting the realities of hospital settings and have access to the college's simulation centre. The page also notes a DEC-BAC agreement with the Université de Sherbrooke that lets graduates continue directly into university nursing studies while receiving credit toward a full year of the bachelor's program, and a dedicated course in mathematical tools relevant to the field. Admission is offered for both fall and winter sessions. It suits students interested in patient care, clinical decision-making, and teamwork who want a technical nursing credential with an accelerated pathway into university-level nursing.
