PSW Training and Support Open Doors for Maria’s Future

The program I chose at Anderson College was the Personal Support Worker hybrid. I wanted to go back to school after being off for a year so that I could finish what I started.

I liked the program because it provided me with hands-on experience. I also chose this course because I saw everything I wanted to see in a nursing home. PSWs are needed everywhere, in hospitals and nursing homes. I’m hoping that after graduation, I will be working at Strathmere Lodge in Strathroy.

I received support from my parents, met new people, and made memories. I would say to anyone who wants to be a PSW that Anderson College is the place to go. My teacher was amazing; she helped me through everything.
I truly believe that attending Anderson College was meant to be. I would never have gotten this far without the support from so many people. Anderson College has opened many doors for me and helped me choose the right course. I never thought that I would get this far in life.
