Aurora College has just given out their very first Preceptor of the Year award.
The Yellowknife college’s School of Health and Human Services has always recognized the preceptors who have gone above and beyond to guide other students in the health care programs. This year, they have decided to make it official with a proper award for the role.
Ashley Wiseman was the recipient of the first Preceptor of the Year award for the Practical Nurse (PN) program. PN student Geri Rocero nominated Wiseman for this award, stating that Wiseman sought out learning opportunities and advocated for her to ensure she had an outstanding experience on the Extended Care Unit at Stanton Hospital.
Rocero is one of the 12 graduates of the Practical Nurse Diploma graduating class at Yellowknife North Slave Campus who are now preparing to write the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam to obtain their licenses and practice as Licensed Practical Nurses.
These graduates are the first group to complete the Practical Nurse Diploma at Yellowknife North Slave Campus in more than 15 years. Applications are open until July 28 for the 2023 Fall intake for Practical Nurse and other Aurora College post-secondary programs.
