National Nursing Week

At the University of Lethbridge, we are proud to educate some of the finest future nursing professionals in Canada. In recognition of National Nursing Week, we are honoured to share a sampling of stories featuring our nursing students, alumni and faculty throughout the week.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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
