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.

Calling All Nurses - S2, Episode 9 - Summer Summary
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!

Calling All Nurses - S3, Episode 1 - Celise Hack: Creating Health in Collaboration with Rural Saskatchewan Communities
Welcome to Season 3 of Calling All Nurses! We are excited to present episodes this season that draw a picture of collaboration between nursing practice, nursing education, nursing research, and communities to improve the health and wellbeing of both populations and the lives of nurses.
Listen as our first guest, Celise Hack, shares how collaboration with communities in her region of rural nursing practice worked to increase access to health care information, supports, and services. The Community Well, a volunteer group in Foam Lake, Saskatchewan came together with the goal of addressing post-pandemic health concerns and impact at a grass roots level, particularly with older adults. Linking older adults to programs and services to bridge gaps while evaluating current regional infrastructure was a goal to help older adults age in place, decreasing social isolation, and improving general health and well-being.
Celise Hack is a wife, a proud mom of two young hockey-loving boys, and a registered nurse with 12 years of experience across internal medicine, long-term care, home care, and primary care. Passionate about building healthier communities, Celise founded The Community Well, a nonprofit organization she leads alongside an amazing team of volunteers to support wellness initiatives in her area.
