Sabina Grigoryan

My name is Sabina Grigoryan. Originally, I am from Armenia. I came from Turkmenistan and I’ve been here in Canada since 2005. My profession is licensed practical nurse and I am working in Nova Scotia Rehabilitation Centre.

I came here to Canada 3 years ago, and as I came I started learning English and I came to ISIS and took English as a Second Language, and then as I graduate, I took another course which is English for Work and Business from the same organization; ISIS, and then I went back to school for 2 years, at Nova Scotia Community College. After I graduate, I took my resume to the floor where I have clinical experience, which is Rehabilitation Centre and I have an interview with the manager and after I can start.

The suggestions I have for other newcomers in my profession is if they really love what they do, they should pursue the dream, they should, don’t give up and be positive and eventually you’ll find what you need.

I think it’s a privilege to work in Nova Scotia as a, I guess everywhere in Canada you get paid very good and you have, you have good benefits.

Yes, I am happy with my decision of coming to work to Nova Scotia, because it’s so much better for my children to live here and people here are so friendly and they always are ready to help.
