International Students
Kristina Hull, 38 from Aylmer is a student in the Health Assistance and Nursing Program. Kristina says she always wanted to get into the Health Care field but it was not until she got laid off that she made the decision to go for it. “The reason I enjoy this field is that I am doing something meaningful every day and it is challenging”, says Hull who will be graduating this May from the program. Kristina has enjoyed the program and feels the expertise of her teachers and the new skills she has acquired have given her a renewed sense of self-belief and confidence. Students have spent the majority of the last year on work placement in local hospitals, and Kristina reflects that Pediatrics was probably her favourite area so far. “Decide what you want to do, don’t give up, persevere and give it your heart”, is Kristina’s advice to people thinking about a new career path, adding “a sense of humour is very important too”!
