Calling All Nurses - S2, Episode 9 - Summer Summary

06/26/24 • 38 min

Get set to listen as some of our Season Two guests convene and reflect collaboratively on key takeaways from listening and learning from each other at Calling All Nurses and their greatest wish for nurses and nursing right now.

In Episode 6, Adriane Gear compared the current landscape of nursing like a plane just waiting and ready for takeoff. Continuing the metaphor, the outstanding leadership our guests represented this season are packed and ready for a new era of nursing, trying new solutions, and committed to transforming health systems while respecting what needs to stay or change. Season One was aptly summarized as a Love Letter to Nursing. The summary for Season Two that emerged is Nursing as the Heartbeat of Healthcare, fearlessly, boldly, and compassionately moving forward. As Leigh Chapman stated, rethinking the way in which we value nursing is key...seeing it as an investment in society rather than a cost center plugging holes, shifts the power. This episode is brimming with key messages and reflections from all the guests. Don’t miss it!
We can't wait for Season 3 and will be sure to notify you when it's ready!

The Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment BC Committee (CANE BC) is a group of actively practicing as well as student and retired nurses. Their work began many years ago throughout the province. They are now joining forces as one provincial committee to have a greater impact given the urgency of the Climate Crisis and the compelling need to protect planetary health (CANE-BC, 2024).

Listen as Aggie discusses the advocacy, action, and awareness which are the cornerstones of the work of CANE-BC as well as the national CANE organization. Aggie tells us about the collaboration, opportunities, and initiatives that underscore creating change for the planet at this crucial time in our history and how to get involved!

Aggie is the Director, Research and Knowledge Translation at Providence Health Care in Vancouver. She supports clinicians in research and knowledge translation projects, including leading the Practice-based Research Challenge and the KT Challenge programs, incorporating planetary health actions into her initiatives. Aggie is the BC representative to the national board of the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment. She completed her BSN at the University of Washington, Seattle, and her Master of Public Health at Simon Fraser University. She is an adjunct professor at the UBC School of Nursing and Research Associate, Centre for Advancing Health Outcomes.

Aggie was recently named the recipient of the 2024 Nursing Leadership Award by The Canadian College of Health Leaders, sponsored by the Canadian Nurses Association. The Canadian College of Health Leaders brings together Canadian health leaders from across the country, disciplines, and sectors, creating opportunities and support for members toward high impact leadership in Canadian healthcare. Congratulations Aggie!

Listen as NIC faculty alumni and Calling All Nurses co-hosts Betty Tate, RaeAnn Hartman, and Martha Russell discuss with their guest, Shanyn Simcoe, how her nursing education at NIC led her to political advocacy and change making in community health policy against the backdrop of the toxic drug poisoning public health crisis.
Shanyn was a guest on Season One of the podcast and we were thrilled to have her back with us in front of our live audience!
Shanyn Simcoe is a registered nurse of settler and Indigenous ancestry raised in Treaty 13 territory and currently residing on the unneeded and traditional territory of the K'omox Nation. Shanyn's nursing career has been predominantly in direct care in acute psychiatry, primary care, and community-based Mental Health and Substance Use with a recent shift to a regional quality and safety leadership role following completion of an advanced practice leadership graduate degree. For her, in addition to being an inherent responsibility, political activism is also an act of self-care.
