I chose to study nursing at UPEI because I love the small-town historical feel of the campus.

The opportunities I’ve had as a student have been phenomenal. UPEI’s Faculty of Nursing has established many partnerships within the community, and I’ve practiced my nursing skills in hospital units, the school system, and with partners such as Special Olympics PEI. My program offers more diverse opportunities that might not be possible in a larger setting.

Looking back on the last four years, I have had so much support from my peers. UPEI’s nursing program is different than a typical degree program because students take their courses together as a class. I’ve become part of a large family with my classmates, and I will cherish the long-lasting friendships and memories I’ve created for the rest of my life.
