Only a few short weeks after I finished my program at Georgian, I attended my first day at the Ontario Provincial Police Academy. In 2009, I was posted to the Bracebridge OPP detachment where I perform general duties as a provincial constable. I have been enjoying my career, working and being involved within the community that I live in. Georgian provided first-hand opportunities to work for the OPP as a co-op. Dave Wickware Bachelor of Human Services - Police Studies graduate Provincial Constable, Bracebridge OPP My time at Georgian has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. I became interested in nursing after experiencing health issues and decided to enter Georgian's degree program after a career in finance. Mental health and administrative nursing are areas I would like to explore. I feel a confidence in myself that shows through in every area of my practice – it's a wonderful feeling!
