When Jane van de Ven-Dantes, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션15, started studying at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s as a mature student in 2011, her health was so poor she was unable to hold a pen. She was a bedside nurse for 16 years before a car accident in 2010 left her physically unable to do her job. Along with her physical challenges, the mother of three battled anxiety and depression as she worried about how she was going to take care of her family.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Literally the only thing keeping me alive was being in school because that was the only thing supporting my mental health. Studying gave me a purpose,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Ms. Dantes. 카지노 게임 컬렉션My whole identity was shattered after the accident. I was devastated because being a bedside nurse was who I was.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Fortunately, Ms. Dantes카지노 게임 컬렉션 story has a happy ending, as she was able to overcome the physical, mental, and financial obstacles and get her Master카지노 게임 컬렉션s degree in nursing from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. Today she is healthier and loving her new managerial nursing job at Providence Care Hospital in Kingston.
Financial support and bursaries helped her overcome a very dark period in her life. When asked what she would say to the donors who support students like her going through tough times, she gets emotional and has to fight back tears.
카지노 게임 컬렉션This was life-changing for me and my whole family. I don카지노 게임 컬렉션t know if donors truly understand the difference they are making in people카지노 게임 컬렉션s lives. I would have never been able to go to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s without the funding opportunities that were provided,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms. Dantes.
Ms. Dantes카지노 게임 컬렉션 loss of job income had a significant effect on her family. She applied to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s knowing she would need financial support to graduate. She eventually sold her home and moved her family in with her mother while studying.
Ms. Dantes reached out for help and the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community responded. She was able to start her education because of the Robert Sutherland Fellowship and was also supported by the Alumni Scholarship for Nursing Graduate Students, and the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Graduate Award. One of the people she met was Carole Morrison, director of the Ban Righ Centre, an organization supporting mature female students at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
The centre was a source of both emotional and financial support. Together they identified bursary options that apply to her situation, and eventually, Ms. Dantes received the Diane McKenzie Award and the Helen Bracken Anderson Bursary.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Mature women with families face unique challenges when coming to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. It is very rewarding to hear from alumnae like Jane that the Ban Righ Centre had a positive impact not only on them but also on their families,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms. Morrison. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Staff members at the Ban Righ Centre provide encouragement and support, but the women students themselves persevere, surmount barriers, and create their own futures.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Ms. Dantes now dedicates her professional time to her job at Providence Care managing Clinical Nurse Educators and supporting the Standards of Practice for nursing care. She says her Master카지노 게임 컬렉션s degree was a key factor in her professional success.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I am happy and I am finally in a really good place,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Ms. Dantes.
