Karachi Fumigation Company applies high-quality chemicals that affect pests that do not affect humans. visit: https://karachi-fumigation.com/

by Nursing Students' Association 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Hello students, faculty, and staff. We would like to formally invite you all to the 10th annual Orange Shirt Day event hosted by the Nursing Students Association and the College of Nursing. The event is taking place this week on Friday September 27th, from 9:45am-1:00pm! What is the Orange Shirt Day at the College of Nursing? The Orange Shirt Day event at the College of Nursing was created on the foundations of reconciliation and awareness of the history and impact of residential school systems in Manitoba. The event unites the University of Manitoba student and staff community with Indigenous Elders, Chiefs, and guest speakers to learn from the past (Residential School System) and the important role each and everyone of us play in truth/reconciliation. Various speakers from our academic community also attend including Elder Norman Meede, Dean of the College of Nursing, and the President of University of Manitoba. An annual walk also occurs, which this year will be from Helen Glass to the administration building. Following, a fellowship lunch/feast is held at the College of Nursing where student, staff, and UM community members can create connections with Indigenous peoples in our community. Please see the programming schedule attached to the email. We hope to see you there!

by Diana McMillan 07 Sep '24

07 Sep '24

Extending a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2024 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series! [cid:48709c2a-a712-40f8-a268-43ac0305daf1] Date: September 10th, 2024, 12:00 – 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Presenter: Andrea Raynak, RN, MPH(N), PhD(C), Director, Nursing Practice & Learning, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre; Lecturer, Lakehead University. Title: Nurses’ attitudes towards patients who use substances in the hospital setting. ZOOM LINK: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/68302318816?pwd=RjBNSmtGTnRvU3RoYVhSUGtYU0N3QT09 Abstract: Nurses, as the primary providers of 24-hour care, are crucial in observing, recognizing, and intervening with patients who use substances in the hospital setting. According to the literature, nurses, despite their central role as care providers, often harbor negative attitudes toward patients who use substances, subsequently leading to a perceived lack of empathy and the manifestation of discriminatory behaviors. This presentation will examine the persistence and impact of these negative attitudes to highlight the challenges that patients who use substances face in accessing respectful care. As self-reported by nurses, the factors contributing to these attitudes include a paucity of knowledge about substance use and the lack of institutional policies and/or procedures to guide nurses while they are caring for this patient population. Recommendations for improving care include enhancing nurses’ professional development through targeted education and revising and/or implementing organizational policies to support a more patient-centred and pragmatic approach. This presentation will advocate for transformative changes within health care organizations to enhance the readiness of nurses to care for patients who use substances while simultaneously cultivating a supportive environment for these individuals. Upcoming Presentations Tuesday October 8th, 2024 12:00 – 1:00 pm Dr. Preetha Krishnan, NP, PhD, WRHA Long Term Care: Orchestrating Comfort: Getting Everyone on the Same Page: Long Term Care Nurses’ Experiences with Advance Care Planning. Tuesday November 12th, 2024 12:00 – 1:00 pm Simone Stenekes, RN, MN, CHPCN(C), CNS, Pediatric Palliative Care, WRHA Palliative Care Program: The Impact of COVID-19 Visitor Restrictions on the Multidisciplinary Health Care Team of a Palliative Care Unit: A Qualitative Study. ARCHIVE LINK TO ALL RECORDED PRESENTATIONS: https://umanitoba.yuja.com/V/PlayList?node=4121225&a=1926463596&autoplay=1 The Clinical Chair Program, supported by the Health Sciences Centre, University of Manitoba College of Nursing, and the Health Sciences Centre Foundation, aims to foster clinically relevant research partnerships, networks and synergies fueling nursing research and clinical innovation, enhancing knowledge translation, and supporting improved patient outcomes. The goal of this free monthly virtual speaker series is the creation of a space for clinicians, researchers, scholars, and students to share knowledge, expertise, insights, and questions to spark ideas and connection to strengthen nursing research and practice, building a strong nursing community across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Northwestern Ontario, and beyond!
