Travel Nursing

Bayshore’s human and compassionate outlook are what make the organization so unique. I feel lucky to have the chance of practicing my profession with them. Working up North can be unsettling and challenging, but it’s also wonderful ! Indigenous communities are endearing, their culture is fascinating and their history worthy of being heard.

I’m supported and coached by my employer and colleagues in my journey. I was motivated to do the ‘’Expanded Role’’ training although I was afraid that I would most likely help a pregnant woman give birth which I did not have experience with. But now, I have the tools and training I’ll need to perform this task that was previously difficult for me!

One’s senses can be subjected to a vast array of experiences! Light shows abound when the Northern Lights appear… And at the height of the winter season, we sometimes feel as though we’re walking on styrofoam or sinking in snow that has become as syrupy as mud.

The North provides us with an opportunity to put our life on hold from the daily hustle bustle, to refocus and to discover our true self.

Values – such as sharing, love, friendship and collective well-being – become truly meaningful.

I decided to work for Bayshore for a single but important reason: freedom!

After working several years in Public Health, I joined Bayshore, where I became once again a person who mattered and not a mere employee number. What a difference!

As a mother, I’ve also been supported, even when I was only carrying out smaller contracts. I never once felt as though I was being a bother because I put my family first.

Bayshore gave me the opportunity of travelling across this vast country and humbly discovering the human richness of its inhabitants. I was able to quench my thirst for adventure and need to help others while also expanding the boundaries of my nursing skills.

For the first time in my career, I feel supported by my managers.
