Abbotsford, BC....attending VCC. Can't wait to finish program as our new hospital opened up two months ago.....but do I wanna work there? Not sure, LOL

In my health class and also my healing class, I have an instructor who has mounds of knowledge....however....she is trying to teach us health promotion and that we should be very concious of how we look as our patients will not take us seriously if we treat our bodies like crap. This woman, although a mountain of fabulous knowledge, does not practice what she preaches. She typically looks like she just rolled out of bed, has a very apparent eating disorder as she eats for he entire 6 hours she teaches us, ad judging by her weight, this may happen at home too. She just doesnt look like she takes care of herself at all. Anyone have an opinion on this?? I'm really struggling with what to think here....I realize I need to focus on the teaching, but many of us in the class think she is a hipocrate. It's frustrating

If you are looking for more of a small town feel, I would definitely consider the Okanagan. Kelowna is turning quite "Metro" and the traffic is terrible, but the towns south of there may be more what you are looking for. I lived in Penticton for two years and just moved back to Vancouver a year ago. I miss it. It's not too big, but has a great, easy-going mentality. Winters arent too bad. Summers are hot tho. Dont know anything about the hospital there tho, but tee is one...LOL

What a great idea for a thread. I am a 35 year old mother of four. Just started my program a little over a month ago and will finish in September. My youngest child is 12, so thankfully they are big enough to give me space when needed. I've been to college and university before too, but for finance, so this nursing stuff is totally new to me, but am loving it so far. Looking forward to geting to know y'all!
