Husk will have rely on practical experience
From Page 1
Husk will have to
rely on her practi-
cal experience she
has obtained from
being a nurse at
Victoria Hospital in
London, ON, since
her graduation last
June.
She can also rely
on her job experi-
ence working at
Community Living
Kincardine and
'District from 2002-
2007. There she
was able to have a
lot of productive
humaninteraction
with develomen-
tally delayed chil-
dren and adults,
which in her own
words, has helped
her be more com-
passionate and.
patient with alt
walks of life she
encounters as a
nurse.
This is. always
something Husk
has wanted to do
and she is now at a
point in her life and
career where she
feels comfortable
to take on a big .
challenge such as
this.
"I just wanted to
get the timing right.
With the practical
experience :I have
now, since I have
become .a nurse, I
think I'm better
prepared mentally
to take on this chal-
lenge," said Husk.
Husk is also tak-
ing an unpaid leave
from her job as a
nurse and footing
the majority of the
expense to go on
this trip.
There are many
personal reasons

why she is doing
this, but one of the
main reasons is to
let the people in
Uganda know they

"A lot of these
people don't have
access to a hospital,
so I'll be able to
come in and see if
they need help.

ence with places

Living I'll also be
