About Nursing

About Nursing

The Ingram School of Nursing is a professional School within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences 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 海外直播b站. The School is internationally recognized for its distinctive vision, leadership in nursing, and the quality of its programs. 海外直播b站 nursing graduates have earned a reputation as outstanding clinicians, educators, researchers, and leaders in their discipline.

Recently, the Ingram School of Nursing adopted Strengths-Based Nursing (SBN) as its foundation for practice, education, and research. SBN is a culmination of an approach to nursing that has been an integral part of the 海外直播b站 School of Nursing since its founding in 1920, evolving from the 海外直播b站 Model of Nursing. SBN is both a philosophy as well as a value-driven approach that has as its foundational pillars in person/family-centered care, empowerment, relational care, and innate and acquired healing.

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 and clinicians, students will participate in cutting-edge programs of research and knowledge translation projects related to nursing practice and administration. 海外直播b站'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 and its laboratories are situated at 680 Sherbrooke Street West and occupy the 18th, 19th, and 20th floors of that building. The state-of-the-art Satoko Shibata Clinical Nursing Laboratories are designed to offer students a wealth of hands-on experience. The School also accommodates student lounges, faculty and staff offices, mid- and small-sized classrooms, and meeting rooms. Students registered in the School also take courses in other faculties within the University. Selected experience in nursing is provided in the 海外直播b站 Health Centre, other 海外直播b站-affiliated hospitals, and in a wide variety of health agencies in Montreal.

For information on undergraduate programs, please consult the Ingram School of Nursing's Undergraduate section.
