Speaker 2: First Nations children. And then I kind of transferred back

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: to the Department of Health in twenty twenty one seeing

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,400

Speaker 1: in the field of nursing and how many different you know,

66
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,360

Speaker 1: job that you can have.

68
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so I love nursing. And I think what's

69
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: the beauty of nursing is that the range of career

70
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,280

Speaker 2: primary care, public health, mental health. There's so much opportunities.

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: And to be honest, research wasn't something that I thought

75
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: I'll be interested in. I end up in pursuing my

76
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: career further, but I find out real passion for it,

77
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,640
