What students are saying about their placements
"It’s nice to know that behind the scenes there are people that are looking out for you and advocating for you."
"I love emergency medicine and the adrenaline but having the ability to look after people of all ages — from pediatric to palliative care — is really rewarding. In rural, you’re every type of nurse."
"As a nursing student there’s so much to learn. You’re learning but you’re also working. It can be very demanding. It’s nice to feel so supported."
