It is National Nursing Week and Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) is highlighting a few of our nurses and their achievements. Meet Sheilah Madelozo, a Registered Nurse at our Hospital.

Sheilah Madelozo’s journey to becoming a nurse began at a young age. Even in grade school, she knew nursing was the career she wanted to pursue. Sheilah credits the inspiration for the career from both her passion and her family. “My family took care of each other with deep compassion and without their support, I would not be where I am as a nurse.”

Sheilah began her nursing career in the Philippines in 2007, with her first job in the Emergency Room. Working in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment helped her develop valuable skills and gain the hands-on experience she needed to grow.

As she advanced professionally, new opportunities led her to Thunder Bay, where Sheilah now works on the Surgical Unit. “I truly enjoy my job,” says Sheilah. “The patients make it so rewarding, and no two days are ever the same. The variety, challenges, and ability to make a difference keep me motivated and passionate about what I do.”

“I’m incredibly grateful for the path I’ve taken, from my early days in the Philippines to where I am now, and I remain committed to providing care with compassion and dedication.”
