Sidonia Talmaciu

– RN, BScN 

My name is Sidonia Talmaciu and I began my nursing career as a Practical Nurse after graduating from Durham college in May 2022. I later completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing through Ontario Tech-Georgian College Bridging Program, graduating in May 2025. 

I have clinical experience in acute care, geriatric care, surgical units and mental health/addictions settings. My professional focus is mental health and addictions, and I am deeply committed to trauma-informed, evidence-based care and harm reduction. I strive to provide compassionate, respectful, and comprehensive care that recognizes each patient’s unique experiences and complex needs.

I am fluent in Romanian and Hungarian. Outside of nursing, I enjoy going for runs, reading and trying new recipes.
