4th Year Community Donations
by Nursing Students' Association 11 Jun '24

11 Jun '24

Hello Students, Please see the message below on behalf of the Agape Table. Please be aware of other community donation initiatives in front of the NSA office (Including mestrual products and non perishable food items)! Dear Nursing Students, We hope this message finds you well. We are a group of four fourth-year nursing students currently completing our community rotation at Agape Table, an organization that provides essential support to many individuals in our community. Over the past few weeks, we have had the privilege of working closely with the guests at Agape Table, witnessing firsthand the challenges they face daily. As future healthcare providers, we are deeply committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. We believe that community is essential, and it's crucial for us to support and take care of each other. One of the most requested items at Agape Table is water bottles, especially with the hot summer months approaching. Adequate hydration is vital for everyone, and we want to ensure that all our guests have access to clean, refreshing water. To address this need, we are raising funds to purchase a pallet of Kirkland water bottles from Costco, which contains 48 cases of water. The funds we raise will be used directly to buy and deliver these water bottles to Agape Table. We have set up a GoFundMe page, ensuring that the money will be sent straight to Agape Table, making the process transparent and straightforward. We are reaching out to the nursing student body to ask for your support in this important endeavor. Every contribution counts, and together we can make a significant impact on the lives of those in our community. Please consider donating and sharing our GoFundMe page with your friends, family, and social networks. You can find the GoFundMe page and additional information about the fundraiser attached below. https://gofund.me/655d1438 Thank you for your generosity and support. Together, we can make a difference! Best regards, Arij Al Khafagi, Rabiat Bello, Manya Manya, Esther Oguntoyinbo Fourth-Year Nursing Students [Agape Table Community Rotation]

Please join us today at NOON for Nursing Grand Rounds by Stephanie Lelond, CancerCare MB
by Diana McMillan 11 Jun '24

11 Jun '24

Date: June 11th, 2024, 12:00 – 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Presenter: Ms. Stephanie Lelond, RN, MN, CHPCN(C), CNS, CancerCare Manitoba, Instructor II, College of Nursing, UM; Director-at-Large: Advocacy and Policy, Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology Title: Finding new models of care to support patient centered care and improved health system management in health disparities. ZOOM LINK: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/67104256163?pwd=WDlFV3lQWk9QWTlvamtYVEV2K0VDZz09 Abstract: Patients with advanced cancers have been disproportionately affected by an almost 20% increase in postponed, rescheduled, or cancelled appointments related to their cancer diagnosis and treatment, compared to those diagnosed with earlier stage disease. Pancreatic, esophageal, and hepatobiliary cancers are known for heavy symptom burden and rapid disease progression necessitating expedited, rather than delayed, access to appropriate health services. CancerCare Manitoba has instituted an early palliative care program allowing access to symptom management, information on diagnosis, prognosis, potential treatment options and eligibility, health system navigation, and discussion of goals of care and advance care planning, from the time of referral to the cancer centre. This new model of care in advanced cancers began with pancreatic cancer and is expanding. Patients report an excellent standard of patient centered care and data shows decreased unwanted invasive procedures and appointments alongside increased access to the support best aligning with patients’ goals of care.

Hello, Please see below for information about a new project being conducted by the Health Information and Exchange Laboratory and the Hearts and Minds Laboratory at the University of Manitoba, called Recognizing and Responding to Birth Trauma: The Development and Pilot Evaluation of a Brief Online Training Intervention for Canadian Health Care Providers. We are interested in hearing about the training needs of physicians, nurses, and midwives in recognizing and responding to their patients’ needs after birth trauma. If you are a professional or student in these fields, we invite you to complete a 15 – 30-minute online survey (you can save and return later) asking about your background and training needs. Those who complete the online survey can enter a raffle for one of four $25 e-gift cards to Amazon. The findings will inform the development of a training intervention tailored to the overall needs of physicians, nurses, midwives, and students in these fields. To participate in the survey, please click this link: https://birth.trauma.training.survey<https://rcsurvey.radyfhs.umanitoba.ca/surveys/?s=E4MJ94JXN3H8D9HR> Please feel free to share this link with your colleagues, though refrain from posting it on public channels (e.g., social media) to limit AI bot interference. If you have any questions, please email the Principal Investigator, Shayna Pierce, at Birth.Trauma.Training(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Birth.Trauma.Training@umanitoba.ca> Thank you for considering participating in this research project!
