In the above photo, Alexie and Ms. Lindenbach prepare the
slide projector for the powerpoint presentation that was used during the
morning.
Carole Tshibasy is the only student who does not
hail from the Sudbury area. She comes from Montreal and is looking forward
to a career in Nursing in that area after graduation.
Amanda,
Joelle and Melanie are all from Valley East, while Alexie is from
Chelmsford.
"I always wanted to work in the medical field,"
stated Alexie when asked why she choose nursing as a career. "Nursing seemed
like a good field to start out in. There are so many different careers
within nursing itself that it leaves a lot of doors open if I decide to
focus on one particular area of medicine."
For Amanda,
nursing offers a challenging career while at the same time giving her the
opportunity to enjoy a satisfying family life as well. "Nursing seems to
allow you to have a nice balance between a career and a family."
All of the girls, with the exception of Carole, are hoping to remain in
Sudbury to practice once they graduate.
While they were at the
Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre, the girls, under the supervision of Ms.
Lindenbach, tested volunteers for blood
pressure and pulse rate. Each person was provided with a log book.
