Are you a rural Alberta high school student (grades 9 to 12) interested in a helping profession, or working in a health career after high school? Would you like to explore the various options and opportunities?
Could a career in rural nursing be in your future? Have you thought about becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Registered Nurse (RN), or Nurse Practitioner (NP)?
You may be wondering about:
- What is the difference between the various nursing professions?
- What a pathway to becoming an LPN, RN, or NP could look like.
- What is working in rural Alberta really like?
- What you should be considering now as a high school student to support your post secondary education and career journey aspirations.
- What a career as a rural nurse could look like.
If you have questions swirling around in your head and you wonder if a career in health care might be an option, we have a special invitation for YOU!
The Rural Health Professions Action Plan (RhPAP) is pleased to offer:
Let’s Go Rural – How Do I Get There? - Nursing Careers
October 10th, 2023 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
A virtual conversation about individual experiences, personal journeys, and important information about the journey to health careers that can see students like yourself in the field in as little as two years out of high school.
These jobs may be rewarding in and of themselves, or a pathway to other options, and include careers such as an LPN, RN, or NP.
Students will have the opportunity to:
- Hear from rural health care providers working in or with experience in these positions, who can talk about their journey and how they got there
- Ask questions and engage in conversation with people working and living in rural Alberta
This free interactive Zoom session is available only to rural Alberta high school students (school must be located in a town with a population less than 15,000).
We will email you the zoom link prior to the session date/time.
