Good morning, Nursing Students! We are holding a financial literacy presentation on January 29, 2024, at 5:30pm with Canada Life financial advisor Lucas Coulson. It’s no secret that financial planning is extremely important, especially for careers such as nursing where your income potential can be quite high. This presentation will highlight some of the main things nurses should be concerned with when it comes to their financial planning; such as the various types of insurance that are available, both individual, association and union coverage. We will also discuss the basics of investing and look at the different options that are available through your employers and individually. The main idea is to educate on the basics of financial planning. Getting ahead and knowing what to expect when you begin your careers can make a huge difference with your overall financial health so don’t miss out on the education or the free pizza! Room number will be provided closer to the event to ensure adequate space for all attendees.

Dear Nursing Students, I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to notify you about the ongoing locker sale, and I wanted to inform you that only a limited number of lockers remain available. Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact me at sandh23(a)myumanitoba.ca.

Extending a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2024 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series! [Date: January 9th, 2024, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Presenter: Dr. Barbara Tallman RN, MN, PhD, Instructor II, College of Nursing, University of Manitoba Title: Applying a relational perspective to understand how intimate couples accomplish life together when one person has dementia.][A person in a blue shirt Description automatically generated] Topic: Jan 9th (12pm) - Nursing Grand Rounds Time: January 9th, 2024 12:00 PM Winnipeg https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/62471248066?pwd=VmZ3djYrKy9VTFZROWk5NTRLTHFqdz09 Meeting ID: 624 7124 8066 Passcode: 981348 This presentation focuses on the findings and implications of a longitudinal research study that explored how the couple, when one spouse lives with dementia, achieve life together through their efforts towards mutuality. Efforts towards mutuality occur in the everyday interactions as couples aim to come to a shared understanding. Three to five joint interviews of 8 different couples living with dementia were conducted. The person living with dementia experienced varying levels of dependency. Interviews were analyzed using a thematic analysis underpinned by the assumptions of symbolic interactionism. The result of analysis of these interviews is described by a newly developed mutuality analytical framework. Difficulties in coming to a shared understanding were often shaped by the medicalization and stigmatization of dementia. This study highlights how couples living with dementia maintain individual agency within their relationship.

These outcomes are often linked to the compounding effects of stigma, discrimination, and a constellation of other barriers to accessing care at all points across the cancer continuum. For example, those experiencing poverty are significantly less likely to be seen by an oncologist after a cancer diagnosis and less likely to receive cancer treatment. Ground in the concepts of health equity and social justice, this presentation will highlight ongoing research on how inequities manifest in the cancer care sector, some of the root causes of these inequities, recommendations for integrating an equity-oriented approach into the design and delivery of cancer services.

November 14th Nursing Grand Rounds - Mark your calendars!
by Diana McMillan 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Dear Colleagues and Students, Please mark your calendars for the upcoming Nursing Grand Rounds Presentation! Extending a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2023 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series! [A person with long hair smiling Description automatically generated] Presenter: Dr. Vanessa VanBewer, RN, PhD, Assistant Professor, College of Nursing, University of Manitoba Title: Identifying and understanding disparities in undergraduate nursing education. Date: November 14th, 2023, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Topic: Nov 14 (12pm) - Nursing Grand Rounds Time: Nov 14, 2023 12:00 PM Winnipeg https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/63092921806?pwd=S016NUR2Sk9id0dMOXBlM1M3cVhtQT09 Meeting ID: 630 9292 1806 Passcode: 649779 This presentation offers a glimpse into our ongoing mixed methods, critical participatory action research (CPAR) aimed at mapping racial/ethnic disparities in undergraduate nursing education. The focus is primarily on our methodology and approach to CPAR, underscoring its collaborative nature and its potential to engage with undergraduate nursing students in a co-creative process. Through participatory theatre, sharing circle dialogue and collective reflections, we worked together (as a team of researchers and undergraduate nursing student research assistants) to develop a survey on racial disparities to administer to the undergraduate nursing student population. Some preliminary survey data collected from a sample of undergraduate nursing students at the University of Manitoba will be presented. The survey data includes demographic information including information about intersecting social identities, academic and clinical performance metrics, and initial insights into students' perceptions of disparities within their educational journey. These quantitative findings provide an early snapshot of some of the complexities and tensions within undergraduate nursing education that may be applicable to the broader nursing profession. Upcoming Presentations December 2023 - Happy Holidays, no presentation.
