Collingwood General and Marine Hospital held a career information night on Nov. 9 to encourage high school students to consider a career in health care. Students learned about a variety of jobs in nursing, physiotherapy, diagnostic imaging, respiratory therapy and nutrition (i.e. dietician). RNAO student member Arptia Roy talked with a local newspaper ahead of the event, sharing details of what drew her to nursing. A second-year nursing student in the Bachelor of Science Program at Georgian College, Roy said that she made the decision to go into nursing in high school when she witnessed the care given to her grandfather after he had a stroke. “I was there with him in the hospital and I saw the nurses caring for him and I thought to myself, ‘this is the best way to give back to the community.’” Are you a current undergraduate nursing student, but not an RNAO member? Learn more about the benefits of membership for students.
