" I was apprehensive about the transition from student nurse to registered nurse, and I'd heard so many negative stories from friends about their difficult experiences. Being part of the graduate program at Peter Mac made the transition painless. I've had an extraordinary experience. I now know why I stuck out a three year nursing degree. I love my work at Peter Mac!" ( Past Graduate Nurse).
