Tylenol Canada Bursary Program Award

My name is Daniel Stuart; I am a Critical Care nurse working at the Peter Lougheed Hospital in Calgary. I am in my final year of the Master of Nursing/ Nurse Practitioner program at the University of Alberta. I first started nursing in 2020 during the COVID pandemic. Initially starting my career in Coronary Care (CCU), I was quickly redeployed to Intensive Care (ICU) to support the influx of COVID patients and have stayed there ever since. I was inspired to pursue a career in nursing by my mother, who has recently retired after a 40-year career in pediatric nursing. My desire to advance my education further has been a long-standing goal of mine. I have personally been managed by several incredible Nurse Practitioners (NPs) for my own health issues; I have also worked with many talented NPs in my nursing career. Their skill and dedication have inspired me to pursue graduate studies. I am passionate about Critical Care Nursing and intend on joining the Department of Critical Care Medicine as a Nurse Practitioner once I complete my program.
