“We really value George Brown students in our organization. They are very well prepared. They are ready to care for our
patients, and they have that enthusiasm – that inquisitiveness to learn. We try to hire George Brown grads as they graduate,
and then watch their transition into the professional socialization of nursing.”

Alumni Success
Good health care encompasses every aspect of a person’s life, and relies on the various professions working together to provide
an overall sense of wellness. Our graduates benefit from an education rich in real-world, collaborative training. By the time they
get to the workplace, they already know what to expect and how to work in teams of professionals to provide patients with the best
care.
Our graduates are entrepreneurs and employees in organizations large and small. They work across all sectors of society from nurses
in community clinics, to health information managers in large urban hospitals, to restorative dental hygienists in family-operated
clinics. The thread that joins them is how their George Brown education prepared them for career success.
