Nursing Program.

Start at the beginning.

It was the end of high school. I wasn't sure what to do next.

Choice 1 : Apply to Montmorency College and study Nursing.

Choice 2 : Apply to Terrebonne College and study Psychology Science.

Montmorency College

What should I do?

I decided to go to Montmorency. I didn't get straight A's. In some of my courses, I did cursory job. But because of my time management skills, I was able to pull off a passing grade in all of my courses. After 3 years, I graduated from Nursing Program. Now, I can apply for a job that will lead me to a career as a nurse. However, two choices were available to me.

Choice 1 : Apply to work as an emergency nurse at the Laval hospital.

Choice 2 : Apply to the Montreal hospital and become a pediatric nurse.
