Healthcare Experience in Kindersley

Wondering how life is as a healthcare worker in Kindersley? Check out Kyli’s experience below:

Kyli Haughn, Pharmacy Technician (RPht)

Why do you enjoy working at the Kindersley and District Health Centre?

“I enjoy the atmosphere of working in Kindersley as you get a sense of teamwork when working in a rural centre. For example, pharmacy works alongside nursing, physicians, as well as others and you really get to know one another as an integrated healthcare team. We also get the opportunity to work together with the Rosetown Pharmacy Department to service other health facilities in the area.”

What do you love about living in Kindersley?

“I love living in a smaller community rather than a city. Even though Kindersley is a smaller community, it has a wide range of services available. It is a short commute to work, there are many shopping options, good access to medical care, lots of activities for adults and children, daycares, recreation facilities (swimming pool, rink), and more great things to keep you and your family active.”

Tell us more about your career pathway. Did you work in other facilities throughout Saskatchewan or in another province?

“I have been a Pharmacy Technician for 14 years.  Before coming to work in Kindersley (my home town) I worked at a Warehouse Pharmacy in Alberta.  I always knew I wanted to come back to Kindersley as I love the small town feel.”

Do you have any advice for new grads looking to pursue a career in a northern or rural community?

“Apply to do your hospital practicum in a rural centre. That will give you really good insight as to how great working in rural really is! The broader scope of practice and the variety of patients needs really helps build your skills to progress your career. For new graduates, give rural opportunities a chance you will not regret it!”
