The Ingram School of Nursing offers the following undergraduate programs:
The B.N.I. program offers admission to a campus program and to an on-line program of study. For the sake of brevity, mention of the B.N.I. will here forth pertain to both these program offerings unless otherwise stated.
Other online resources available include the Undergraduate Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Guide at mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions.
Bachelor of Science (Nursing) (B.Sc.(N.)) - Nursing (103 credits) |
---|
The B.Sc.(N.) extends over three years (four years for students who must complete U0 science courses, i.e., high school graduates and mature students with no previous science background) with general and professional courses in each year. Nursing courses continue in the Summer sessions. Clinical experiences are in community health centers, hospitals, and other agencies as well as in the home setting. |
Bachelor of Nursing (B.N.I.) - Integrated Nursing (65 credits) |
The B.N. (Integrated) program is part of a five-year program developed jointly by Quebec universities and CEGEPs. This five-year program is open only to students who complete the three-year 180.A.0 and 180.A.1 Nursing programs at CEGEP. Students admitted on the basis of a CEGEP DEC receive 27 credits of advanced standing (equivalent to the first year of university) and are admitted to the second year of university. The program consists of two years at university in which students take more advanced nursing and science courses to meet the competencies expected of a nurse with a Baccalaureate degree. These competencies include working in multidisciplinary teams or more autonomously in hospital and community settings, with individuals, families, and groups, planning health education programs and participating in research. This program also aims to further advance the practice of students by expanding their knowledge base, strengthening their critical thinking skills, promoting a strength-based, family-centered perspective and preparing them for roles expected of a baccalaureate nurse. The program may be completed in two years if taken full-time and three years if taken part-time. While the B.N.I. on-campus and online are relatively similar, the B.N.I. online is unique in that it is tailored toward learners who are independent and self-directed. |
Minor degrees are offered by several academic units (e.g., Women’s Studies, Psychology). Minors involve a specified program of study, generally 18–24 credits. The option is most applicable to transfer students. Those seeking to complete a minor must complete a form and be able to respond ‘yes’ to each of the questions and submit this form to the Nursing Student Affairs Office (NSAO) for approval. The form is available in the Ingram School of Nursing Faculty and Student Handbook.
The Bachelor of Science (Nursing) and the Bachelor of Nursing (Integrated) programs are fully accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN).
For information on our graduate programs (graduate certificate, master's, doctoral, and postdoctoral studies), please refer to Nursing's Graduate Section.
All applicants to the Bachelor of Science (Nursing), Bachelor of Nursing (Integrated) and Master's programs at Æ»¹ûÒùÔº are required to complete a mandatory 90-minute online assessment called CASPer. CASPer—the Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics—is a web-based situational judgement test designed to evaluate key personal and professional characteristics essential for students to be successful in nursing school and, ultimately, as practising nurses. Some of these characteristics include professionalism, empathy, compassion, and cultural sensitivity. Since CASPer assesses non-cognitive and interpersonal characteristics, studying is not required.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to secure technical requirements including a reliable internet connection on their selected test date. No exceptions will be made for applicants who are unable to take CASPerTM online due to unreliable internet connection caused by technical or political factors. Applicants may want to explore details of the requirements and the structure of this assessment at .
Please go to to sign up and reserve a test date using your Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Student Number and a piece of government-issued photo ID. You will be provided with a limited number of testing dates and times; these are the only testing dates available for your CASPer test as no additional tests will be scheduled. Please use an email address that you check regularly, since there may be updates to the test schedule. You may direct any inquiries to support [at] takecasper.com or via online chat by registering on the .
The CASPer test is composed of 12 sections of video and written scenarios. Following each scenario, you will be required to answer a set of probing questions under a time constraint. Each response is graded by a different rater, giving a very robust and reliable view of personal and professional characteristics important to our program. You may want to familiarize yourself with the test structure at , and ensure you have access to a quiet environment in which to take the test. CASPer test results are valid for one admissions cycle; applicants who have already taken the test in previous years will therefore be expected to re-take it.
Detailed information about each admission category can be found at mcgill.ca/applying/requirements.
Quebec Diploma of Collegial Studies (Health Sciences/ Sciences)
Holders of the Diploma of Collegial Studies who have completed the following courses are considered for admission to the 103-credit B.Sc.(N.) Program:
