With my previous undergraduate degree being Exercise Science, I’ve always been passionate about health and the human body, and wanted to further my career in a path that would allow me to be of service to optimize the health of people around me. I chose nursing because the profession in itself would allow me to be of favour to a variety of different people, such as those that are fighting disease or illness as well as those in which I could help prevent disease.

Choosing McMaster Nursing has been the best decision I could make to enhance my nursing career and has helped shape me as a future nurse. I came to choose this program through my understanding of the prestige and extensive resources of McMaster nursing and by speaking to peers, who have graduated from the program with success and are now exceptional nurses, The program is filled with incredibly knowledgeable professors, clinical instructors, and resources that have helped me succeed in my becoming of a nurse. Those who choose McMaster nursing will benefit from this program in the same way that it has helped me – which was to create, shape, and mold a nurse to make a difference in the field as a skilled and compassionate professional in my nursing practice.

I recently graduated with my BScN nursing degree from McMaster. This incredible program did not only prepare me to be a RN, but it also taught me how to treat every individual with respect, dignity and worth both in and out of the profession. Before starting my nursing journey I shamelessly made judgments and assumptions of others. The wonderful professors and person-based style of learning at McMaster allowed me view every patient equally and learn their unique stories. I have learnt that behind every individual is a story, hardships and success along with the importance to listen to the client without judgement. This nursing program will allow each and every one of you to learn how to view the patient as a human being despite their diagnosis, appearance and background which allows you to provide the best care possible. Your McMaster nursing future awaits you!

Apart from the amazing clinical opportunities McMaster has to offer, it is the small class sizes and curriculum that make the Nursing program absolutely incredible. You will work in small groups to learn in ways similar to the interprofessional collaboration you’ll need as a new graduate nurse.  The people in the program will make your experience unforgettable – I’ve made lifelong friendships, important connections with faculty and healthcare professionals, and lasting relationships with the McMaster community. I’m glad I got my beginning at McMaster. I am currently employed at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at McMaster Children’s Hospital – an opportunity that the School of Nursing made possible through my consolidating placement.
