Nova Scotia Nursing Award

I am grateful to have been chosen as a recipient of a Canadian Nurses Foundation Student Scholarship. I am currently completing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing through the Advanced Standing program at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS. I will be graduating in October of 2025. I have always been an empathetic person who sought to care for others. Before entering the Advanced Standing program at Dalhousie University, I worked as an allied health professional in a rural community in British Columbia as well as in Halifax, NS. I decided to retrain as a Registered Nurse because I want to have a broader scope of knowledge to better support the comprehensive health of patients and their families. I hope to bring my knowledge and skills from my background, as well as my current education, to my future patients. 

I believe that as a Registered Nurse I can have a positive impact in my community. My husband and I have recently purchased a home in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia and I am looking forward to living and working in a rural community where nurses are in high demand. Having previously lived and worked in rural communities in British Columbia, I am looking forward to returning to a more relaxed lifestyle with my husband, dog, horse, and future friends and family.
