“This is the best decision I’ve ever made.” That’s how Mathyl Pacheco describes her experience in the Practical Nursing Program at Sprott Shaw College.
Originally a nurse in the Philippines, Mathyl Pacheco came to Canada with big dreams but quickly realized becoming an Register Nurse here would take time. To bridge the gap she enrolled in our Practical Nursing program as the first step toward her ultimate goal.
“I always felt like I could do more as a healthcare worker,” Mathyl shares. “The Practical Nursing program helps me step up and achieve my goals.”
What stood out most for Mathyl? The hands-on training and supportive instructors who go above and beyond to set students up for success.
“It’s not an easy program—it’s complex—but the instructors make sure we understand everything. They’re warm, approachable, and really care about our success.”
Despite her prior nursing experience, Mathyl admits the program challenged her in new ways—but also gave her confidence:
“I didn’t know what to expect, but it blew me away. I’m excelling now, and I’m so happy I chose Sprott Shaw.”
