The Ingram School of Nursing is, currently, one of the only nursing schools, in Quebec, to offer all five NP concentrations (neonatal, primary care, mental health, pediatric and adult care). We pride ourselves on providing high quality NP education that will prepare you for your future NP practice. A Strengths-Based and Healthcare approach is taught by leading nurse and medical academics and clinicians, who have extensive experience in their fields of expertise and are committed to your success. We are student-centered and regularly ask for student feedback to continuously improve our NP Program. Our NP concentrations have been accredited by the Ordre des Infirmi猫res et infirmiers du Qu茅bec.

The NP scope of practice can differ from province to province across Canada. In 2021, the scope of practice of NPs in Quebec was expanded, which was a recognition of the expertise and the autonomy of NPs. Our program aims to be forward-thinking to ensure that students attain the competencies they need in their future NP practice.

The Ingram School of Nursing NP Program is an in-person academic program that offers case-based learning with a multitude of opportunities to interact with nursing and medical experts and student colleagues. Assessment and clinical skills are taught in a state-of-the-art simulation laboratory. We use diverse student-centered methodologies to support student attainment of NP-level competencies.

The purpose of the interview is to get to know you and to understand your motivations for applying to our program. We want to make sure that you are a good fit and vice versa. We would expect that you have done your research and have a good understanding of the role of the NP.

Every concentration has a maximum number of students that can be admitted. This may vary every year based on program resources and the number of available clinical internships.

Financing has been offered by the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS). For additional information regarding MSSS funding for NP studies, please visit:

You do not need a signed contract of employment (promesse d鈥檈mbauche) to apply to the program. You can only sign a contract of employment after starting your internships (clinical placements).

The NP Program requires that students be proficient in French (oral and written comprehension, and oral and written expression) in alignment with the OIIQ requirement for licensing in Quebec. Resources are available to support students in developing their French language skills.

The language of instruction at 海角社区 is English, however, it is a 海角社区 policy that all written work/exams can be submitted in either French or English language. A significant number of 海角社区 nursing students have French as their first language.

In some concentrations, nurses are accepted with a license outside Quebec. Contact us for further information at graduate2.nursing [at] mcgill.ca.

Upon receiving your application, your GPA will be converted for the application review.

You can still apply. We evaluate applicants whose GPA is below 3.0 on a case-by-case basis. We encourage applicants to include information in the NP Essay Questions regarding the circumstances that contributed to a GPA below 3.0/4.0.

You must be a licensed nurse to apply to the NP Program with a minimum of a Bachelor鈥檚 of Nursing degree equivalent to the Bachelor鈥檚 of Nursing degree offered at 海角社区.

We offer the possibility of completing a graduate certificate and graduate diploma to complete your education and training as a nurse practitioner.

This depends on your full/part-time status and on your previous educational level. However, if you are full-time and doing the full MScA + graduate diploma, it will take you 2.5 years to complete the program.

This depends on the NP concentration and previous studies. Please refer to the course of study of the concentration of interest for further information.

You do not have to find your own practicum/internship placements. Our program has very good collaborative relationships with our clinical partners and we provide quality internships for our NP students.
