Elizabeth graduated with the 2015 class. Here she shares a bit about her journey through senior practicum and into the role of Registered Nurse!
I was fortunate to have successfully written the NCLEX exam on September 3rd. I now hold a casual position on the Antepartum & Gyne/Gyne Oncology unit where I completed my senior practicum – WRS5 in Women’s Hospital. I am hoping to obtain a permanent position there in the near future.
Elizabeth also offers some advice for students currently enrolled in the BN program:
Don’t compare yourself to your peers and take the time you need to relax. Do you 🙂
The RRC Nursing Public Relations committee thanks Elizabeth for her submission and would like to reinforce her message. Focus on your personal journey as a student and take time to care for yourselves. Soon you will have your own success story to share!
Congratulations Elizabeth!

Red River College Business and Technology Teacher Education students, Jessica Lister and Robert Porczek, hosted an event for Global Collaboration Day 2015 to connect pre-service teachers globally. The purpose of the event was to connect students and to create opportunities for global collaboration. Students created Google Slides that were shared via social media and on the Global Education Conference website so that other teacher education students could connect and participate. The image below is linked to the slides.
As we know, we live, work and learn in a very global society and to truly be successful today, students need to develop and/or enhance their intercultural competencies. Our current and future students need to be able to interact effectively and appropriately with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and have the ability to recognize, acknowledge, respect and incorporate an understanding of world views and their impact on relationships.
Aligned with these principles, Diversity and Intercultural Services offers two programs I would like to highlight:
A one-on-one partnership between a Canadian-raised student (local mentor) and an immigrant/international student (global mentor).

Four TOTT skilled trade examples
Apprenticeship Manitoba (AM), a long-time client of Red River College’s Teaching and Learning Technologies Centre (TLTC), dreamed mid-2014 of a game that could engage middle-school kids and introduce them to the world of the skilled trades. The vision was an immersive 3-D virtual world where custom avatars used all kinds of tools and materials to build cool stuff. But with a small budget and only a few months to deliver, it was a tall order. Read More →
Reuel Ramos Ribeiro is a computer science student from Brazil who, like his five other Brazillian BIT Project teammates, is getting extra experience in Canada thanks to the Brazilian government’s Ciência sem Fronteiras (Science Without Borders) program. Though Winnipeg and the BIT Program were selected for him, Reuel said that Canada appealed to him “because of its good quality of life, the respectfulness of its population (which is easy to find), and the low level of corruption”. A puzzle games enthusiast and problem-solving driven programmer, Reuel’s technology preferences are Web-related, and his skills in that area are quickly growing these days. Easily the most quiet of the team, Reuel shines in back-end development and his database and coding skills have underpinned everything the rest of the team has built. Read More →
