Nursing and education have provided a myriad of opportunities for Joan. Along with her consulting work, she has had a variety of nursing practices over the past 3 years working as a Public Health Nurse as a contact investigator and tracer, a Community Mental Health nurse in an NGO, and as a vaccination nurse in Primary Healthcare in Regina.
