Hey there, time traveller!

Friday was a special day for Tameka Cross who graduated from Assiniboine Community College’s practical nurse program.
“I chose nursing because I like the idea of healing,” said Cross, who was the valedictorian of her class.
“Healing, I find, is not just physical — it’s emotional, it’s spiritual. That is a big part of who I am. I’d like to connect and share that with as many clients, patients and residents as I can.”
Cross recently moved back to Winnipeg following her studies in Brandon. She’ll write her licensing exam in the coming weeks and hopes to secure a job as a licensed practical nurse soon after passing.
She was one of 24 nursing graduates who donned their white uniforms yesterday, while another 22 students graduated earlier in the week.
“With so many starting their studies less than two weeks ago, it’s a wonderful complement to be celebrating the completion of a program for with these graduates as they begin another chapter in their lives,” Assiniboine Community College president Mark Frison said.
“They will have challenging and rewarding careers helping others as they fill vital roles with communities across the province.”
