Gain autonomy in your practice and make a tangible impact in remote and Indigenous communities.

“I was at a point in my career where I no longer liked what I was doing. I needed to find myself. At the end of November 2019, I had a conversation with Marie Julie. We talked about her passion for the North, and I was SOLD. Training, which was fantastic, began in early January, and I fell back in love with my profession. The new challenges and experiences motivated me to take the plunge, and since then, I’ve wondered why I stayed so long in the old, conventional system.

I feel like a butterfly, and my wings have spread thanks to Nordik. Their training prepares us exactly for the challenges we face. Since January 2020, the team has become my new family. They are always there to answer my questions, listen when I feel frustrated, and support me along the way. They’re so nice and fun—bravo to everyone!”

SOAP Method

We utilize the trusted SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) approach to diagnose and treat health issues, ensuring you’re well-equipped for complex cases.

I didn’t arrive there with a particular vision of the Far North. I just went there with an open mind and tried to have the best possible experience. Five years later, my attitude allowed me to build wonderful relationships and have a great Nordik experience.

It’s a human-sized company, where we are all really treated like people. We are chosen for who we are. They aren’t looking for a certain number of nurses, but rather for individuals who fit well with Nordik’s values.
