Douglas College nurses are well known among hiring managers, nurse educators and physicians for their high intellect and job-readiness upon graduation. Many Douglas College RN graduates go on to careers in specialty practice areas, and I was very intrigued by this as I always aspired to work in oncology.

After graduation I secured a clinic placement at the BC Cancer Agency, where I was able to work with nurses in the clinical setting as well as collaborate on a research project. My program gave me the skills and confidence I needed to develop a good rapport with the nurses and managers I worked with.

My experience at Douglas College helped me achieve my educational and career goals. I was able to engage in many activities outside the classroom, including serving as Student Representative on the Douglas College Board of Directors. I learned our school is looked after by members of our community who really care, and our faculty is very supportive of students achieving their goals.

If you want to be a nurse, come to Douglas! You’ll be in a supportive environment where you can learn about your field and develop a resumé that will earn you great respect in the work force.
