Health Care Aide Upgrade
What was the environment like during your time at Sprott Shaw College?
Safe and supportive
How long did it take you to find a job after graduation?
Next to not time at all.
Where do you work? Can you explain your duties?
I currently work at Tabor Home LTD and also in the Emergency Department at ARH. These are two very different environments, so I get the best of both worlds.
In the ER, the work is fast‑paced, constantly changing, and sometimes chaotic, it requires quick thinking, adaptability, and strong prioritization skills.
At Tabor Home, the pace is slower and more focused on long‑term care. I work closely with elderly residents, which means being detail‑oriented, patient, and consistent in providing support and comfort.
If you could give advice to someone coming to Sprott Shaw, what would you say?
Focus on what the instructor is saying and be involved. Make notes later.
Is there anything else you would like to share?
My experience was fantastic. Thank you!
