"For choosing [Tofield and] this hospital in particular, it was the [“Let’s Go Rural!”] skills weekend [that helped make my decision], because you got to see the community, meet the people in the community, as well as see what the hospital has to offer, [and] get a feel of what the team is and what management is like. So, it was kind of an inside look, without being a formal job interview. … I was able to interview the hospital first in a way." - Jenn Vogetlin, RN, Tofield
