The module is accredited by a University of Victoria, though delivered by Aurora College in Yellowknife, N.W.T., a territory’s capital. Jordan and Jody are now in a final year of a program.
“It has substantially been a best 4 years of my life,” Jordan said.

Before starting a nursing program, Jody was an early childhood teacher in Fort St. James, a tiny village in Northern B.C., though nursing was always an aspiration. Both Jody and Jordan were vital in Inuvik when Jordan motionless she would enter a program. Jody motionless it was a good time to request as well.

Jordan pronounced carrying her mom around helped take some of a vigour off of travelling for school, and maybe helped keep her on tip her studies.
“She hassles me about doing task all a time — that is not a best partial of this — though it’s overwhelming to have a investigate partner, someone to rebound ideas off of if I’m ever stranded on a paper or clinical questions,” Jordan said.
