What brought you to KPU and your program of study?

I was an internationally nurse from the USA and had more than five years of gap in my practice and I was referred to do GNIE program at KPU when I submitted my documents to the board of nursing in BC. This is how I was in KPU at GNIE program

Can you briefly describe your current position and your main day to day responsibilities?

I am a registered nurse with Fraser Health working full time and my day to day responsibilities are communicating with patients, families and other multidisciplinary team about conditions of patients and work on interventions.

Which skills, knowledge, or experiences from KPU have been most valuable in your career so far?

I believe the clinical part from the program prepared me with the healthcare system here in Canada and that has been the most valuable so far. I am glad I did this program otherwise I would be very lost with the Canadian healthcare system.

What advice would you give current KPU students who want to build a successful career after graduation?

Keep applying for job and also never stop dreaming.
