About Nursing

About Nursing

The Ingram School of Nursing is a professional School within the Faculty of Medicine that has been educating nurses since 1920. On September 10, 2012 the School was formally renamed the Ingram School of Nursing in recognition of Richard and Satoko Ingram and their exceptional support for Nursing at McGill. The School is internationally recognized for its distinctive vision, leadership in nursing, and the quality of its programs. McGill nursing graduates have earned a reputation as outstanding clinicians, educators, researchers, and leaders in the discipline.

Over the years, the faculty of the School at McGill has worked to formulate a philosophy about the responsibilities and practice of nursing. This philosophy, known as the McGill Model of Nursing, directs the curricula at the School and emphasizes health, the family, learning and development, collaboration with clients, and working with the resources of individuals, families, and communities. Its intent is to actively promote health and well-being in people of all ages and across all situations. The McGill Model of Nursing is also central to the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Health Centre's Department of Nursing.

At the graduate level, the Ingram School of Nursing offers tailored programs in advanced nursing practice that prepare our students to be leaders in their field. The learning experience at the School is geared to foster individual judgment, creativity, and initiative. Led by nationally recognized researchers, students will participate in cutting-edge programs of research related to nursing practice, education, and administration. McGill's Ingram School of Nursing is for you if you want to contribute to the knowledge base of advanced nursing practice and want to be involved actively in changing how healthcare is delivered locally, nationally, and internationally.

The School is located in Wilson Hall, which houses classrooms, computer facilities, faculty offices, and lounges. A recently renovated Nursing Learning Laboratory, located at University Hall Residence, has seven clinical beds, an ICU bed, two examination tables, and AV capacity for distance education. Students registered in the School also take courses in other faculties within the University. Selected experience in nursing is provided in the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Health Centre, other McGill-affiliated hospitals, and in a wide variety of health agencies in Montreal.

For information on undergraduate Nursing programs, please consult the Health Sciences Calendar available at www.mcgill.ca/study.

M.Sc.(A.) Program

There are two points of entry into the M.Sc.(A.) program with the exception of Nurse Practitioner (which has its own entry streams outlined under Nurse Practitioner):
  • Non-nurse applicants entering with a general B.A. or B.Sc. (Direct-Entry Applicant)—three years full time—for more information on the M.Sc.(A.) Direct-Entry, visit the Ingram School of Nursing website at www.mcgill.ca/nursing/programs/msca-direct-entry.
  • Nurse Bachelor Entry—two years full time—for more information on the M.Sc.(A.) Nurse Bachelor Entry, visit the Ingram School of Nursing website at www.mcgill.ca/nursing/programs/msca.

M.Sc.(A.) Program – Areas of study

Students entering the master's program may select between two areas of study. The clinical stream is intended to prepare students for clinical nurse specialists or nurse practitioner roles in selected areas. The adjunct area is available for students wishing to plan an individual program of study in such areas as nursing administration, education, or global health.

Clinical Nurse Specialist

M.Sc.(A.) Direct-Entry and Nurse Bachelor Entry students both have access to the Clinical Nurse Specialist area of study. Students will develop their knowledge of both qualitative and quantitative research methods, engage in a systematic study of nursing problems, and disseminate knowledge relevant to clinical practice. Career opportunities include family health, cancer care, neuroscience nursing, or critical care.

Global Health Studies

This option is available to both Direct-Entry and Nurse Bachelor Entry students. This area of study provides students with global health content throughout the program. In their final year, students complete both clinical and project based components in a global health placement during one semester. Global Health prepares nurses for the challenges of working with diverse populations in limited resource environments. The philosophy stresses the importance of understanding the inherent power dynamics, equity issues, and ethical dilemmas that arise.

Nursing Services Administration

Open to both Direct-Entry and Nurse Bachelor Entry students, Nursing Services Administration was developed to allow students to pursue their interest in this area of study. Nurses trained to develop the capacity to assess the factors that impact upon and determine the nursing workforce. This will enable them to make strategic and effective decisions, and influence policy change with regard to the planning and management of the nursing workforce.

Education

This option is available to Nurse Bachelor Entry students. This area of study exposes students to instructional and learning theory in order to better equip them to lead the movement towards more innovative and effective pedagogical approaches in training nurses working in health care establishments or nursing students in academic settings.

Nurse Practitioner

The Nurse Practitioner role is new to Quebec, but has been part of North American health care for quite some time. Advanced practice nurses are being asked to take on nurse practitioner roles in which they assume responsibility for tasks related to physical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment within legally sanctioned, pre-determined conditions that have traditionally been exclusive to medical practice.

The Ingram School of Nursing offers two specialities within the Nurse Practitioner area of study: neonatology and primary care.

The Nurse Practitioner in Neonatology focuses on the care of newborns across the spectrum of complexity, from tertiary-level care through the first years following birth. The coursework is highly concentrated within the area of specialization.

The Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care assumes responsibility for physical assessment and treatment of stable patients. The Primary Care Nurse Practitioner works with patients of all ages with a variety of health concerns.

Point of entry for Nurse Practitioner – applicants with a B.Sc.(N.) or B.N. Degree

Nurse-applicants to the Nurse Practitioner streams of study in the master's degree program must have completed a bachelor's degree comparable to the undergraduate degrees offered at the Ingram School of Nursing (minimum 66 university credits, includes 12 credits in the biological sciences) with a minimum GPA of 3.2/4.0 in previous nursing studies. Applicants must have completed at least two years of practice in clinical fields related to the specialty area within the last five years. An introductory Statistics course (3 credits) is required prior to admission to the program.

All nurse applicants are expected to hold current and full Quebec licensure.

For Nurse Practitioner Primary Care students, only the first year of the program can be taken part-time. The subsequent year must be taken full-time.

Students entering with one of these undergraduate degrees will complete the nurse practitioner stream of study in the Master’s of Science (Applied) program (45 credits) and the post-master’s Graduate Diploma (30 credits) in Primary Care or the Graduate Diploma in Neonatology.

Point of entry for Nurse Practitioner – applicants with a master's degree in nursing

Applicants entering with a master's degree in nursing must have completed a bachelor's degree comparable to the undergraduate degrees offered at the Ingram School of Nursing (minimum 66 university credits, includes 12 credits in the biological sciences) with a minimum GPA of 3.2/4.0 in previous nursing studies. Applicants must have completed at least two years of practice in clinical fields related to the specialty area within the last five years. Applicants are expected to hold current and full Quebec licensure.

Students entering with a master’s degree in nursing are required to complete a Graduate Certificate (15 credits) in Theory in Primary Care or Theory in Neonatology, followed by the post-master’s Graduate Diploma (30 credits) in Primary Care or the Graduate Diploma in Neonatology.

N.B. Depending on the nature of courses previously completed in their master’s degree, students will register first as Special Students and complete 6–12 additional credits to prepare for entry to the Graduate Certificate programs.

Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.); Nursing (Non-Thesis) (58 credits)
The objective of this program is to prepare specialists in nursing to be able to participate in the development, implementation, and management of services in all domains of health care. Opportunity is provided for the advanced clinical study of nursing, and for incorporating research and evaluation methods in the investigation of nursing issues.
Graduate Certificate; Theory in Neonatology (15 credits)
This graduate certificate prepares students with completed graduate studies, comparable to the McGill Master of Science (Applied) Nursing program, and experience in neonatology to continue their studies in the Graduate Diploma in Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. The program of study focuses on the acquisition of advanced-level knowledge from the biomedical sciences in the context of the nurse practitioner role. The Graduate Certificate Theory in Neonatology and the Graduate Diploma in Neonatal Nurse Practitioner cannot be taken concurrently.
Graduate Certificate; Theory in Primary Care (15 credits)
This graduate certificate prepares students with completed graduate studies, comparable to the McGill Master of Science (Applied) Nursing program, and experience in primary care to continue their studies in the Graduate Diploma Primary Care Nurse Practitioner. The program of study focuses on the acquisition of advanced-level knowledge from the biomedical sciences in the context of the nurse practitioner role. The Graduate Certificate Theory in Primary Care and the Graduate Diploma in Primary Care Nurse Practitioner cannot be taken concurrently.
Graduate Diploma in Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (30 credits)
This diploma is the final step in the student's preparation to assume the new role as nurse practitioner. Students with completed graduate studies in the discipline and experience in neonatology now combine the acquisition of advanced-level knowledge from the biomedical sciences to the application of this knowledge in context. Upon successful completion of the diploma program, candidates are eligible to write the nurse practitioner licensing exam.
Graduate Diploma in Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (30 credits)
This diploma is the final step in the student's preparation to assume the new role as nurse practitioner. Students with completed graduate studies in the discipline and experience in primary care now combine the acquisition of advanced-level knowledge from the biomedical sciences to the application of this knowledge in context. Upon successful completion of the diploma program, candidates are eligible to write the nurse practitioner licensing exam.
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.); Nursing
The Ingram School of Nursing of Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and the Faculté des sciences infirmières of the Université de Montréal offer a joint doctorate program leading to a Ph.D. in Nursing. This program is offered in English at McGill. The program is designed to train nurse scientists who will make a contribution to the advancement of knowledge in the discipline of nursing and assume a leadership role both in the profession and in the health care system.
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.); Nursing — Psychosocial Oncology
A cross-disciplinary option in Psychosocial Oncology (PSOO) is offered in collaboration with the Departments of Oncology and Psychology and the Schools of Nursing and Social Work. This option is open to doctoral students in the Ingram School of Nursing and in the Department of Psychology who are interested in broadening their knowledge of psychosocial issues in oncology.

Master's, Graduate Certificate, and Graduate Diploma Programs

Nurse applicants to the master’s program may complete their studies on a part-time basis (with the exception of those in the Nurse Practitioner areas of study where only the first year may be taken part-time), i.e., minimum of 3 credits per term to a maximum of five years. Applicants to the Graduate Certificates and Graduate Diplomas should consult with their advisor concerning course load.

All nurse applicants are expected to hold current registration in the province or country from which they come. Nurses who are not licensed in Quebec must be registered (¾±³¾³¾²¹³Ù°ù¾±³¦³Ü±ôé(±ð)) with the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec upon the start of their graduate studies. Nurse applicants to the Nurse Practitioner areas of study must hold current and full licensure with the OIIQ.

International nurse applicants are required to have had experience as nurses in their country of origin and in North America.

B.A./B.Sc. Applicants to the Master's Program

Applicants holding a general B.A. or B.Sc., including a number of prerequisite courses, may be admitted to a Qualifying year. A minimum CGPA (cumulative grade point average) of 3.0 (3.2 is strongly preferred) on a scale of 4.0 is required in order to be considered for entry. Upon successful completion of the Qualifying year, candidates apply to the master’s program. Persons prepared in another professional discipline or in nursing are not eligible for this program.

Direct-Entry applicants must complete their Qualifying year and the master’s program of study on a full-time basis, i.e., a total of three years. The School considers admissions to this program for the Fall term only.

Note: For further information about the required courses in the Qualifying year of the Direct-Entry program, please see the Nursing website at www.mcgill.ca/nursing/programs/msca-direct-entry.

Nurse Applicants (Nurse Bachelor's Entry – NBE) to the Master's Program

Applicants for the master's degree must have completed a bachelor's degree in nursing with a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0. This preparation must be comparable to that offered in the bachelor's in nursing programs at McGill, which is a minimum of 66 university credits including 12 credits in the biological sciences. Applicants must also have completed an Introductory Statistics course (3 credits) prior to entry. Prospective applicants whose undergraduate degree differs from the McGill degree are encouraged to contact the Ingram School of Nursing to have the eligibility of their degree assessed. Experience in nursing is strongly recommended.

Graduate Certificates and Graduate Diplomas in Nurse Practitioner

Applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree in nursing and a master’s degree in nursing comparable to McGill (the bachelor program must have a minimum of 66 credits including 12 credits in the biological sciences) with a minimum CGPA of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale required. Prior to entry, applicants are required to have a minimum of two years of experience in Canada in the specialty area over the previous five years.

Students in the Nurse Practitioner program are required to hold a “carte de stage†allowing them to participate in the required clinical practicum at the end of the second year of the program. The “carte de stage†is granted by the Quebec Order of Nurses (Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec – OIIQ) to Nurse Practitioner candidates that are licensed in Quebec.

International students must therefore obtain current and full licensure from the OIIQ before submitting their application to the Neonatology or Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program. Please note that in order to obtain a nursing licence in Quebec, one must be proficient in the French language. For more information regarding the OIIQ licensure eligibility criteria, please contact the OIIQ at 514-935-2505.

The Primary Care Nurse Practitioner program delivers some courses in French, making proficiency in French a requirement for this program as well.

Ph.D. Program

Applicants admitted to the doctoral program through Ï㽶ÊÓƵ must have completed master’s-level studies with either their undergraduate or graduate degree in nursing comparable to McGill. Applicants must have a CGPA of 3.3 on a scale of 4.0 or a B+ standing. Highly qualified nurse bachelor's entry students enrolled in the M.Sc.(A.) in the nursing program may be accepted into the Ph.D. program provided they meet its standards.

The School considers admissions to the doctoral program for the Fall term only. The nursing courses in the doctoral program are offered every two years and incoming students may begin with Schedule A or Schedule B (see Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.); Nursing for details) depending upon their admission year.
