I figure the best way to accomplish this would be to interview the students and alumni of these programs.\r\n\r\nMy first student profile will be Katie! She is a graduate from the Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing at the University of Toronto. She graduated the program in 2013, and she is currently working as a Registered Nurse at the Oakville-Trafalgar Hospital where she provides care for patients on the rehabilitation unit. I spoke with her about her journey in nursing, and was able to attain valuable insight about the program and the profession!<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhy did you decide to choose a career in nursing?<\/span><\/i>\r\n\r\nI always enjoyed helping people! Nursing is a respectable career with lots opportunities for advancement whether it be in hospital management, academia or in the community\/public health sector.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhat made you decide to study at UofT?<\/span><\/i>\r\n\r\n\"TGH<\/a>I was familiar with U of T as I had already completed my HBSc there. U of T offered a second-entry Nursing program for students who already had previous undergrad credits\/degrees. It is only a 2-year program that is well recognized by professionals in healthcare. <\/span>\r\n\r\nWhat were some challenges you faced while studying to be a registered nurse?<\/span><\/i>\r\n\r\nThe program is very rigorous. There were early mornings and late evenings due to clinical rotations which often required 12-hour days. These clinical placements occurred throughout the academic year so you have to manage your time well with course material and preparing for the clinical placements. However, despite the long days, it can be incredibly rewarding when you think about the difference you're making in patients' lives.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWhat advice do you have for students interested in applying to Bloomberg\u2019s Faculty of Nursing?<\/span><\/i>\r\n\r\nNursing school is a lot of work but once you graduate and start working (especially in the hospital), that\u2019s where the real learning begins! \u00a0It\u2019s also important to remember that you are not only applying for a degree that will lead you to a job but rather you have chosen a life long career of learning; healthcare is a dynamic industry that is constantly changing and you have to be up for the challenges that come along with it. <\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As your Professional Faculty blogger, I hope to provide you with insight from other professional faculties at the University of Toronto.
