  1. high grade 67 I hope you're all doing really well,
  2. staying healthy and washing your hands.
  3. I know it's been a long time since I've been
  4. in your classroom, but my fingers are crossed that I
  5. can get back there soon.
  6. Um, in the meantime, I wanted to talk to you
  7. guys about one of the questions I got, which was
  8. how you become a nurse.
  9. So I think it's really important to tell you guys
  10. that I'm not a nurse yet.
  11. I am a nursing student.
  12. I'm still in school and I have about five months
  13. left. But the process you would do or take in
  14. order to become a nurse involves getting a bachelor of
  15. science in nursing from a university.
  16. If you stay in Saskatoon, that would likely be from
  17. the University of Saskatchewan.
  18. So it's a four year program the first year you
  19. spend doing 10 classes that air prerequisites to get you
  20. prepared for nursing.
  21. So things like biology, math, English psychology, things like that.
  22. And then once you're done that year, you apply into
  23. the College of Nursing and you take three more years
  24. of school, and after that you can become a registered
  25. nurse, So it's four years of university after high school.
  26. In the meantime, because you guys are on the horizon
  27. of high school, I would really recommend focusing on things
  28. like your maths and your sciences.
  29. So biology and chemistry are probably going to come in
  30. handy if you do decide to go into nursing.
  31. I would focus on those.
  32. And I think it's really important that everybody understands that
  33. nursing is a difficult career academically.
  34. Sometimes it gets difficult.
  35. I struggle with it every day, but I think it's
  36. very rewarding and something that, um, if you're passionate about,
  37. is a great career choice.
  38. So I sent Mr V another video to show you
  39. guys all about the other things that nursing, um, staff
  40. can Dio.
  41. Nurses don't just work in hospitals and don't just work
  42. in schools.
  43. We can work in a variety of different places, and
  44. I hope if you guys have any other questions about
  45. nursing that, I can answer them in person fingers crossed.
  46. So you guys later
