At Collège Lionel Groulx in Sainte-Thérèse, Canada, Diploma in Soins infirmiers is offered as a diploma in Nursing programme. The programme runs for 3 years. 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 Collège Lionel-Groulx's technical nursing program, leading to a Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) that prepares graduates to practise as licensed technical nurses following the mandatory licensing exam of the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ). The program page describes it as suited to students with an interest in health and human contact, communication and caregiving, who are organized, adaptable, and willing to take on varied clinical tasks; it notes that curiosity about science, particularly biology, and manual dexterity are assets. Before a student's first clinical placement, OIIQ registration (with a mandatory criminal-record declaration) is required, and vaccination is strongly recommended since an incomplete record could limit access to hospital-based placements, which take place across the Laurentides, Laval and Lanaudière regions. Entry requires Secondary 4 Science (STE, SE, or Physical Science 436) and Secondary 5 Chemistry (534); the page notes priority in admission goes to applicants who have already completed Secondary 5 Chemistry, with a longer three-and-a-half or four-year pathway offered to others depending on available seats. There is no admission quota, and students must acquire a personal digital device after admission. The DEC gives access to university programs in nursing sciences, and the program has previously been recognized among La Presse+'s top-rated Quebec college programs.
