Grad nurse excited to do meaningful work
For Jillian Ottmann, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Saskatchewan was the first step towards achieving her dream of doing meaningful work she loves. Work she was inspired to do because of her previous experience with health care.
“I chose to become a nurse because of my own experiences with health care. From seeing members of my family in palliative and long-term care, I recognized the impact that nurses have on patients and their support people, and believed that I had the personality to provide compassionate and dignified care to those in need.”
Born and raised in Humboldt, Sask., Jillian never considered leaving her home province. “Saskatchewan has always been my home. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.” Now thanks to her education and career prospects she is leaning into what she has always wanted to do – help people.
As she continues on her nursing journey, Jillian is relying on her considerable education, alongside her passion for continuous learning to make the most of every patient’s experience.
She said of her experience so far: “I am very thankful for the opportunity to do such meaningful work, but recognize that I still have so much to learn about nursing!”
