Today, the Alpha Recherche Clinique team wishes to highlight the important work of one of the company’s managers, Laurence Kim Petit. Laurence is the team’s adventurer! She loves a challenge, and stands out for her calm, collected approach and, above all, her resourcefulness. She’s perfectly capable of handling urgent situations. Laurence has been a nurse for 14 years and has a wealth of experience in many areas of expertise. She worked extensively with pediatric patients at the Chu de St-Justine and then decided to take on other challenges in remote areas.
She has always been interested in practicing in Quebec’s far north, to perfect her knowledge and ability to intervene independently. Her years of experience working with different clienteles and cultures have given her a strong sense of responsibility and facilitated her ability to make informed decisions. Laurence is also an excellent nurse on a practical level, not only because she loves care techniques, but also because of her agility in communicating with people. Her ability to listen, her sensitivity, her ability to bring people together and her empathy make her an excellent nurse.
Laurence is a great role model for her team!
