Entrance into clinical courses is dependent on having met Immatriculation (licensing) with the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ) as outlined in section 8.3.2 “Registration with the Profession (Immatriculation or Licensing during the Course of Study)” and the following requirements as well as additional requirements outlined in the Ingram School of Nursing Faculty and Student Handbook:See General University Information section 3.1.12 “Vaccination/Immunization Requirements for Health Sciences Programs”. A copy of the immunization form outlining requirements can be found at www.mcgill.ca/studenthealth/forms. Annual flu vaccination is mandatory. Entry into the McGill University Teaching Hospital Network of Affiliated Centres is dependent on having met the immunization requirements. Immunizations must be complete (or in progress for Hepatitis B) by September 30 of the first year of studies involving clinical courses (U1 for B.Sc.(N.); U2 for B.N. (Integrated)).Students must follow a tailored 5-hour training program that uses the Moving Patients Safety Principles Program of the Association pour la santé et securité du travail.

• Students are expected to demonstrate professional behaviour at all times. The OIIQ Code of Ethics, the Faculty of Medicine Code of Conduct, and the McGill University Code of Student Conduct (as outlined in the Handbook of Student Rights and Responsibilities) provide guidelines. Accountability and professionalism are evaluated throughout clinical courses. All students must attend ISON professionalism seminars and interprofessional seminars deemed as mandatory. Failure to adhere to these requirements related to professional behaviour can preclude access to clinical studies.
• Students must be registered with the profession (see section 8.3.2 “Registration with the Profession (Immatriculation or Licensing during the Course of Study)”) before they can have access to clinical placements.
• Students are required to comply with the Ingram School of Nursing uniform policy (or that of the clinical agency) during clinical placements. Details are given in the Ingram School of Nursing Faculty and Student Handbook.
• Students who are seropositive for Hepatitis B, C, or HIV and/or any other blood-borne pathogens have an obligation to notify their Program Director. These students are referred to the Blood-Borne Infection Risk Assessment Unit (Service d'évaluation des risques de transmission d'infection hématogène [SERTIH]) of the Québec Institut national de santé publique responsible for all infected workers, including nursing students. The service will make recommendations regarding clinical placement based on the nature of the situation.
