Nursing, Athletics, and the Power of Resilience

_{The 2025 Canada Summer Games took place in St. John's from August 8–25. To help celebrate, we highlighted inspiring journeys of nursing student-athletes and members of our nursing community who embody resilience, balance, and the importance of self-care.}

_{Davin Brown, Class of 2025, Faculty of Nursing}

_{"The intense structure and discipline required to excel in both academics and athletics became the foundation of my success."}

_{Balancing nursing school while competing as a varsity athlete on both the swimming and track and field teams was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life.}

_{The intense structure and discipline required to excel in both academics and athletics became the foundation of my success. Managing early morning practices, clinical rotations, and late-night study sessions taught me how to prioritize, stay focused under pressure, and maintain a high level of performance in all areas of my life.}

_{This dual commitment not only kept me structured throughout my degree but also prepared me for the dynamic and fast-paced environment of emergency medicine. Just like in sports, the emergency department demands quick decision-making, teamwork, and the ability to remain calm and effective under stress — all skills I’ve honed as both an athlete and a nursing student.}

_{Looking ahead, I plan to gain valuable experience working in the emergency department before advancing my education and training as a nurse practitioner. I am excited to continue growing as a clinician and bringing the same energy, focus, and resilience to every step of my career.}

_{Paxton Ramm, Year 4, Centre for Nursing Studies}

_{"Being both a student-athlete on Memorial's Track and Field team and a nursing student at CNS has taught me the importance of discipline, balance, and organizational skills that carry over from the track to the hospital floor."}

_{I’ve been part of the Memorial University track and field team since 2021, starting as a sprinter and more recently transitioning into hurdling. Track has played a big role in shaping who I am both as an athlete and as a nursing student. It’s taught me how to stay focused, work through challenges, and show up consistently, even when things get tough.}

_{Through the sport, I’ve had some amazing opportunities. I represented Newfoundland and Labrador at the 2022 Canada Games in Niagara, and coached Team NL at the Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships in Sherbrooke, Quebec. I’ve competed in Halifax, Moncton, St. John’s, and Montreal, and I’m currently on the Canada Games 2025 prep squad.}

_{This year, I’ve also enjoyed helping coach the St. Paul’s Junior High track team. Balancing nursing school and training isn’t always easy. During school, I trained five days a week for running alone, often completing assignments early to stay on track. That routine helped me build strong time management skills, something that’s essential in both healthcare and athletics. I’ve learned to plan ahead, stay disciplined, and make the most of my time.}

_{As I move through the nursing program, I’ve found clinical placements and coursework increasingly rewarding. I’ve especially enjoyed learning how lifestyle choices, like cardiovascular fitness, impact overall health — something that I connect with as an athlete. Outside of school and sport, I’m training to become a medic with the Canadian Armed Forces. My goal is to graduate, then continue training to become a Nursing Officer, with plans to further my education in the future.}

_{Athletics and nursing might seem like two different worlds, but together they’ve taught me resilience, leadership, and the importance of showing up for others. I’m proud to represent both, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.}
