OIIQ student registration 鈥� additional information
Please review the following information carefully:
- The OIIQ website advises to submit the application with all supporting documents and processing only when students receive an e-mail notification from the OIIQ. This email notification goes out when the educational institution provides the OIIQ with a list of new students. We anticipate Enrolment Services to submit the first report of "registered" students in mid-August.
- In order for this report to be accurate and not result in errors, students must:
- Update their Quebec mailing address and phone/cell number in MINERVA
- Ensure that all legal documents (/legaldocuments/#when ) are in place with Enrolment Services for the Perm Code creation or verification of an existing code.
- OIIQ Registration Certificate (Certificat d鈥檌mmatriculation): According to the OIIQ web site, students should receive their Certificate by e-mail within two weeks upon receipt of the application form and supporting documents/application fee.
Reminder: 听Students are required to upload a copy of their OIIQ Registration Certificate via our nursing Portal upon receipt of this document.
Consent for release of personal information for clinical placements (HSPnet)
The Ingram School of Nursing uses a web-based application called Health Sciences Placement Network (HSPnet) to coordinate clinical placements. HSPnet听is a secure web-enabled application developed and managed by the BC Academic Health Council on behalf of its partners in several jurisdictions across Canada. The HSPnet听database contains information about students in clinical placements within health agencies.听Students must authorize their educational unit to use and disclose their personal information听(name, student profile) and to use (but not disclose) their personal health information via HSPnet听for the purpose of locating and coordinating placements as required for their educational program.
Students should read the听Identified Purposes and Handling of Personal Information听/听Traitement des renseignements personnels听document to understand what kind of personal information will be kept and sent where.
Students should then read through the听Student Consent Form/听Formulaire de consentement, complete all pertinent information (the name of your degree program), add your handwritten signature,听and upload the signed consent form via the .听Please note that the Clinical Placements Office must have a signed consent form for each new student entering clinical. Failure to provide a signed consent will delay entry into the clinical site, and consequently delay completion of nursing studies.
French Language Courses
For students who lack proficiency in French, it is recommended that they take French as a Second Language course prior to, or early in, the program. Working knowledge of French is essential when working in the clinical sites throughout the province of Quebec.
The Ingram School of Nursing offers 鈥榖eginner鈥� and 鈥榠ntermediate鈥� level French language workshops specific to Nursing students. These workshops are free and offered throughout each semester to interested students. Certain courses provide 鈥榲isual translation鈥� of material presented on slides in class (key English terms have French word appearing adjacent so as to facilitate acquiring medical vocabulary). For more information on these workshops, please contact the Nursing Peer Mentorship Program (NPMP) at听npmp.nursing [at] mcgill.ca.
