Registration with the Profession (Immatriculation or Licensing during the Course of Study)
All students enrolled in a Nursing program must be registered with the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ) (Order of Nurses of Quebec) to have access to clinical studies. B.Sc.(N.) students receive direct communication from the OIIQ to their Quebec mailing address in the Fall semester. Students who do not have a Quebec address and a Quebec permanent code on the Minerva system will not receive this notice, and their clinical placement will be in jeopardy.
Students must provide the OIIQ with the necessary documentation (e.g., certified birth certificate) and respond to questions related to criminal activity (if any). B.Sc.(N.) students register as Student Nurse for which the OIIQ charges a fee; the registration (immatriculation) is valid for the duration of the program. B.N. (Integrated) students must have passed the OIIQ professional examination or have received licensure from the OIIQ to take the first clinical course, NUR1 331. All Nursing students must adhere to the Code of Ethics of Nurses as outlined in the Professional Code R.S.Q., c. C-26, s. 87; 2001, c. 78, s. 6.
