I would definitely like to go to Kingston Public Hospital (KPH) at the moment but the applications will go everywhere. At KPH I have done most of my work experience over the years and it is a good learning environment. That is where every case in the Caribbean and the country comes if it cannot be dealt with at a specific hospital. So that is where I can grow and learn more each and every day.” Name: Candice Anderson Course of study: Bachelor of Science in Nursing College/Faculty: College of Health Sciences “I am pursuing my Master’s degree at UTech. Right now the Trinidad economy is a bit down so I decided to come back to school and complete my Master’s programme in Jamaica, because I need that in order to register as an Architect in Trinidad or Jamaica, actually in any Commonwealth nation. I hope to start changing the face of architecture not only in Trinidad but in the Caribbean. ” Name: Kenneth Dash Course of study: Bachelor of Architectural Studies College/Faculty: Faculty of The Built Environment
