It’s National Nursing Week and Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) is highlighting a few of our nurses and their achievements. Meet Lelo Dlamini, a nursing student at Oshki-Wenjack.

Lelo Dlamini, is originally from the Kingdom of Eswatini. She is a proud mother of three wonderful children. Recently, Lelo embarked on an exciting journey to Canada, embracing new opportunities and experiences. As a newcomer to this country, Lelo is eager to immerse herself in its diverse culture and community while building a bright future for herself and her family.

Lelo decided to pursue a career in nursing after being deeply moved by the exceptional care that her mother received during her struggle with diabetes. “The nurses who attended to her showed clinical proficiency, remarkable empathy, and kindness,” says Lelo. “Their support greatly influenced our family’s journey through a challenging period. I aspire to become a nurse, so that I can offer the same compassionate care and support to others during their moment of need.”
