A big congratulations to Rachel S for her recent graduation from the nursing program at BCIT! Thank you to Rachel for submitting these photos and grad information.

Rachel is a longtime NPIDA dancer and Assistant Teacher in North Vancouver. At the recent year-end Ceili, she was awarded one of the $500 Pat McAndless Award of Excellence scholarships, and the Flying Colours Dancewear Scholarship.

Rachel has graduated with distinction from BCIT with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She received the "Health Sciences Dean's Recognition Award" for positive attitude, leadership and effective team behaviour, participation in BCIT and community activities, as well as outstanding academic achievement.

She is working full time as a registered nurse on the surgical floor at Lions Gate Hospital. Later she plans to specialize in Pediatrics and hopes to work at BC Children's Hospital. She also aspires to travel and work in developing countries in the future.

 

As for dance, Rachel says "I plan to keep on doing as much Irish dance and teaching as I can fit in with my shift work!"

CONGRATULATIONS FROM ALL OF US RACHEL!
