Transcription
I’ve been posted to two different postings since I’ve been a nurse. One was St. Jean, Quebec where I was the immunization nurse and nurse coordinator, so I was basically the, I managed 26 people and gave all the immunizations for all the recruits across Canada. And then I was posted to Ottawa where, because I did my critical care course on my own time, so I was posted to Ottawa so I can go and get the skills. We actually have to go into civilian hospitals to get our skills. We don’t have military hospitals anymore. Life as a military nurse is, you’re never bored. You’re always constantly changing employments. You can be working in a hospital one minute, doing projects the next minute, being in management the next minute, administrator the next minute. You’re continually changing responsibilities and you do so at a very early start in your career. And our major reason why we are in the military now is to prepare for deployments.
