by Manitoba Centre for Nursing and Health Research 09 Jun '26

The following message and the attached document are being sent on behalf of Dr. Diana McMillan, College of Nursing, University of Manitoba. Extending a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2026 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series!

Title: Investing in staff thru unit focused education.][cid:image006.jpg@01DCF7F1.77B82C90] ZOOM LINK: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/62382685798?pwd=BLUFODaMxMxrF0NJUWs54eG9y8VV8b.1 Meeting ID: 623 8268 5798 Passcode: 742483 ABSTRACT: Clinical nurse educators are often focused on preparing new staff for their role within the unit. The time commitment for designing and implementing new hire orientation is significant, resulting in limited time and resources for ongoing educational opportunities for existing staff. Recognizing the effect that limited educational opportunities had on staff engagement and unit culture within our ED, the CNEs moved towards a unit focused approach during the 2024 year. With the goal of investing in staff development across all phases we focused on the following three principles: flexibility, relevance, and engagement. By shifting our educational goals, the education team was able to introduce innovative learning opportunities tailored to the needs of the unit and its staff. These opportunities had a profound impact on the staff, influencing staff retention, patient care, and shifting the unit culture.

Mental Health First Aid, Health Promotion Project
by Nursing Students' Association 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

Dear Nursing Students, We are fourth year nursing students in our community rotation, located at the YMCA Mental Health Services. Our manager has graciously offered to host a private session for a minimum of 8 students to become certified in Mental Health First Aid. This program is typically associated with a fee of $300 for certification but for a limited time, this program can be offered for 50% off just for U of M students. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain knowledge on mental health crisis management within the community, support the Mental Health Services program at the YMCA, as well to strengthen your nursing CV. The program is a two-day session, with the next program being offered June 25th – June 26th. With nursing schedules being busy, if there is enough interest, Rebecca (manager at YMCA Mental Health Services) is willing to try to find a more convenient time to deliver the program (in August after finals, or in November during reading week). Please Do Not Reply to this Email. For more information contact, Rebecca at Rebecca.trudeau(a)ymanitoba.ca<mailto:Rebecca.trudeau@ymanitoba.ca> , Alimah (ibrahi61(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:ibrahi61@myumanitoba.ca>) or Lauren (allardl3(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:allardl3@myumanitoba.ca>).
