6“I see it as an honour and a privilege to be a nurse.
Wintec was such a supportive environment that set
me up for what has been a versatile and rewarding
career, and the continued support I got from the
Wintec nursing department, while I complete my
master’s was so valuable.
My job isn’t just about helping people with their
physical needs. It’s also about being there for them
emotionally and psychologically. I feel like I’m
making a real difference in people’s lives.”

Master of Nursing
