3.1 Health Perspective
Melanie Mitchell Sparkes, BScN Year 4 Student
Pre-Health Science Graduate
Current Work |
OER Design Studio, Fanshawe College. Planning to apply to hospitals in Hamilton once I finish school in December 2023. |
Skills You Use Professionally |
Problem solving, critical thinking, time management, collaboration, resilience. |
Favourite thing about your job |
I get to help students save millions of dollars in textbook costs. When I work as a nurse, I look forward to helping my patients achieve overall health and wellbeing. |
Credentials/Past professional Experiences |
I worked with L’Arche Stratford. It’s a community that helps people with and without disabilities collectively live, work and learn together. This is what initially interested me in healthcare before applying to Pre-Health Science. |
One thing you would tell your former self |
Don’t give up. You might have to take a different route than other people, but that will make you stronger than you know. It will give you more life experiences and skills that will help you in the nursing field later. |
