Her thoughts on Technology in her chosen field. “We are able to have smaller more accurate equipment in the field and we are able to research things that were once impossible. A new technology is putting chips in migratory song birds. Then as they fly by certain towers the chip pings and we can see where the birds are going and how far they travel in a day.”

BROOKE KOBE
Nipissing University – Bachelor of Science Nursing
Brooke’s eventual goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner, although she is also hoping to work as a Certified Registered nurse on a paediatric oncology unit. Who knows where her path will take her but she suspects it will ultimately be in the Grand Bend area.
She volunteers as a coach for 3 on 3 ringette tournaments and at the CanSkate program run through the local North Bay Ringette association. She has also volunteered at YMCA youth summer camps as a team leader.
Brooke’s thoughts on technology in nursing; “Technology can help in reducing human error with nursing. With that said, technology makes routine procedures simplified, to aid in the prevention of error. Examples include automated IV pumps as well as newly advanced medication carts. Overall technology can advance and influence patient care by allowing faster communication, efficient charting and increased patient safety.”
