Student Series: True Grit — Nikki Burnett is tackling medicine with three young kids

After successfully completing a nursing degree with three small
kids and working full time, Nikki knew there was nothing stopping
her from continuing her education and studying medicine. It
wasn’t the smoothest journey through the admissions process with
a newborn in tow, but she’s had the unrelenting support from her
family, community, and academic staff. More importantly, she has
backed herself through the entire process. Now in her final year
of medicine, she says time management has become an important
skill. Her advice to prospective medical students is to have grit
and not give up.
