When Sydney Aos decided to pursue a career in nursing, she knew where she wanted to go for her studies and why.

“I picked uLethbridge because it offered an amazing nursing program, especially the Simulation Health Centre labs are great learning tools.”

Sydney says one of the main draws of the program is the opportunities to combine theory and practice, both in classroom and lab settings and through work experiences.

“The amount of clinical hours we get to experience helps to create better, and more experienced nurses. I’ve really appreciated being able to apply what I’ve learned in the classroom to my clinical practice.”

Though earning her nursing degree is her immediate goal, Sydney says her future plans go beyond the nursing program.

“Many of my instructors have pushed me and taught me the importance of being a great nurse and given me the skills to do that,” says Sydney. “They have also inspired me to set a goal to eventually get my master’s degree.”
