Adrianna Polderman International Education Certification Award

My name is Vidhika. I am fun-loving, sweet, thoughtful, caring, and trustworthy person. I love nature, out in the sun in summers. I have a caring husband, Nitin and a lovely 2.9-year-old daughter, Anaya who takes up all my time these days. I joined nursing school in 2004 and graduated in 2008 in India. I am a Jane of all trades however my special interest is in neonatal nursing. I worked in general surgery, medical unit, children’s unit, neonatal surgery for almost a decade. Then decided to move to Canada with my family on permanent residency in 2019. Here, I worked as a community support worker, care aide and unit and research coordinator in St Paul’s Hospital before getting a spot in a bridging programme in 2021 to finally able to become a Registered nurse in Canada. Currently, I am in the last semester and ready to prepare for the licensing examination NCLEX-RN.
