We Answer the Call: Kira Scott

“We Answer the Call means to act in a way that exceeds the standards of nursing guidelines; To be the living embodiment of nurses who strive to be better and lead the community into an improved state of well-being; To not let fear hold you back from acting, especially during extreme circumstances.”

We Answer the Call: Tiffany Trinh

“Nurses are a voice and advocate for patients and their families. Regardless of the area they work in, nurses all have one important goal ─ to make their patients feel valued and heard.”

We Answer the Call: Richard Camacho

“The most incredible feeling in the world is coming home after a shift or rotation, knowing that your actions made a positive difference in someone whose world is upside down. This is why I answered the call.”

We Answer the Call: Nathaniel Lopez

“I believe that uLethbridge nursing students embody Lethbridge’s motto, Let there be light. Every room that they enter in, whether it be a patient’s room or a community, there is a light that they carry! Nathaniel Lopez
