Fourth-year students David Gawryluk and Omotayo Aremu discuss nursing careers with students in the CanU Explore Nursing program. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The College of Nursing recently welcomed 250 Grades 5 \u2013 6 students from the CanU Inspire program who came to explore careers in nursing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanU is a charitable organization that empowers Winnipeg\nyouth from low socio-economic backgrounds through a wide-range of educational\nexperiences on post-secondary campuses. CanU\u2019s programs are designed and led by\npost-secondary student volunteers who are honing their leadership and community\nservice skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, two representatives from the Nursing Students\nAssociation (NSA), fourth-year students David Gawryluk and Omotayo Aremu, led\n50 nursing student volunteers in the Explore Nursing program that ran twice a\nweek for five weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youth learned skills such as wound care, vital signs, moving and transferring patients with wheelchairs or crutches, and caring for infants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a great program to inspire youth, and our students\nget to showcase the skills they\u2019ve learned,\u201d said College of Nursing instructor\nSufia Turner. Turner is the college\u2019s faculty advisor for CanU, working\ndirectly with the NSA and overseeing the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe mentorship works two ways, in that our nursing students get to interact and mentor the CanU youth, but they also get to mentor within the college, for example fourth-year students work with and help second-year students on skills they have not yet done and both get to learn through their experiences,\u201d said Turner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CanU was founded in 2010 and brings together over 700 Grades 5-12 Winnipeg kids, over 500 post-secondary students, more than 20 corporate and community funding partners, and more than 30 post-secondary departments and faculties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
