Your meaningful career in nursing starts with a clinical placement during the first semester of the Nursing Program at Dawson College. Throughout the program, you will experience hands-on learning in Dawson's labs and high-tech simulation rooms and during weekly clinical placements. Students practise their skills on Dawson's high-fidelity mannequins that breathe and react to interventions. Upon graduation, nursing students will have received training in many different clinical settings including acute care, long-term care, pediatric units, and obstetrical units. The program culminates with a clinical internship in a hospital setting during the sixth semester. Nursing students are paired with a preceptor for 32 hours per week.<br>Graduates are encouraged to continue their studies at the university level. McGill University offers Quebec CEGEP Nursing graduates the two-year Bachelor of Nursing (Integrated) (BNI) Program. After completing the Dawson Nursing Program and passing the Ordre des infirmires et infirmiers du Qubec (OIIQ) license exam, graduates can work in a variety of nursing jobs in hospitals and health centres.
