Virginia Carino

HEALTH CARE ASSISTANT PROGRAM (HCA)

Virginia originally obtained her nursing training in the Philippines, and then began her career in Canada as a Licensed Practical Nurse nine years ago. She remains very active and current in her profession working as a Care Coordinator in a seniors’ residence.

She joined the Drake Medox College team as a Health Care Assistant Program instructor to share her experience and knowledge, and to mentor students to become compassionate, competent and conscientious caregivers. Virginia uses activities, current events and real life scenarios to help students connect with and understand the importance of a Health Care Assistant role.

Highly respected by her students, Virginia brings a deeply caring commitment and enthusiasm to her instructor role at Drake Medox College.

Success Story

Through my own personal experience I believe I am able to give to others the level of care, compassion and love that was bestowed upon me during my time of need. Drake Medox College has provided me with the greatest opportunity through their Community Support Worker program, with being able 'pay it forward ' and make a difference in this world. Life is about touching the lives of people around us no matter who they are or where they have come from.
