At this time, education in nursing in Québec is basically organised by programme. It is an orientation of a systematic nature which means that certain concepts of a main discipline are linked to certain elements of related disciplines in the training programme or to other courses of this discipline. In this perspective, a course does not exist in isolation: it is a part of the setting (corpus) and tightly linked to all the concepts (notions) of the related classes (courses). Everything is presented in a coherent fashion, by putting concepts of different origin in relation and in context.
