Become a CanU Volunteer!
by Nursing Students' Association 05 Jul '24

05 Jul '24

Hello everyone, My name is Shirel Finkelshtein and together with my partner Sarah Livingstone we are the CanU NSA representatives for the CanU Nursing Program. Thank you to all of those that visited our booth during the Summer 2024 intake orientation. We appreciate you showing interest in becoming a CanU Volunteer and hope that your semester is going well! I would like to give you a brief introduction about CanU so that you can have a better understanding of the program. CanU is a Winnipeg-based charitable organization that inspires hope and confidence in the leaders of tomorrow through its out-of-school mentorship program for youth in Grades 5-12 here at the University of Manitoba. There are over 65 Winnipeg schools that participate in our program, with over 500 youth coming to CanU each week and over 800 volunteers that help make it all happen. As a CanU volunteer: * You will guide the CanU students through hands-on scenarios and lesson plans related to different health situations, as well as basic nursing skills. * You will meet people from a variety of positions, including other nursing students and NSA members at the University of Manitoba. * Flexible hours. The program will take place in the evening and will follow your university schedule, which means it will not conflict with exams or holidays. * You will receive co-curricular credit from the University of Manitoba when you volunteer at CanU. * You will gain valuable insight and experience into your future career, as well as gain skills and experience in working with young students. For this Summer term, Sarah and I have been planning two special CanU sessions that will take place in our HGC skills lab. We have finalized the program and are now ready to recruit our volunteers! The summer events will take place on July 16th and July 17th. The events will be programed for the Aspire group (grades 7-9). We are expecting up to 20 students for each event, therefore we would love to have as many volunteers as possible! Both sessions will be 1.5 hours in length, and as a volunteer you will be there from 5:00pm till 7:00pm (half an hour after the events end to help with clean up). As a volunteer, you are not obligated to attend both events and may attend only one (both will follow the same program). After recruitment, we will be inquiring about which day(s) volunteers will be able to attend. We will also be hosting a vertual orientation on the evening of July 15th to help our volunteers be prepared for the program. Further details will be provided after recruitment. The link to sign up is: https://t.me/+s4JM6hr10q00NjEx If you have any questions or concerns regarding the CanU program or NSA, please do not hesitate to contact me at finkelss(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:finkelss@myumanitoba.ca> !

Manitoba Student Aid update
by Thara Wijewardana 25 Jun '24

25 Jun '24

Hello all, I have been in discussions with UM's Student Enrolment office, which is the office that liases with Manitoba Student Aid. The issue that BMid students are being assessed at an 80% full time equivalent, when applying for loans, is being worked through. I am aware the loan application for spring/summer term opened last week and have been advised you will very likely be assessed at 100%. I will confirm this soon. I expect to have more information about this towards the end of this week. Thanks for your patience, and my sincere apologies this has been an ongoing issue.

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.

Nursing Grand Rounds May 14th, 2024 - All welcome
by Diana McMillan 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

Please share widely with colleagues and students. [Date: May 14th, 2024, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Presenters: Dr. Heather Watson, MD, FRCSC (PDWH); Kira Friesen, RN, BA, BN, MScN, CNS, Women's Health Program, HSC; & Dr. Fabiana Postolow, MD, Assistant Professor, Pediatrics, RFHS & Attending Neonatologist, HSC/SBH Title: Eat Sleep Console: The Manitoba journey Abstract: The public health opioid crisis has led to an increased number of perinatal overdose and death since surveillance began in 2016. Opioid exposure in pregnancy has tripled in that time, with devastating effects on both maternal mortality and newborn morbidity. Fetal exposure of these substances during pregnancy may cause symptoms of withdrawal postnatally when substance sources are interrupted after birth. Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and NOWS: Neonatal Opioid withdrawal syndrome is a serious multisystemic disease and can present as poor feeding, poor sleep and excessive cry and irritability, including seizures. Traditional management of neonatal opioid withdrawal after delivery has been primarily medicalized, often resulting in protracted NICU admissions isolating infants from parental care. Research has highlighted a need for practice change when caring for newborns exposed to substances. The Eat Sleep Console model of care is a framework that provides a new way of understanding the parent-newborn experience of antenatal opioid exposure as a unit even after delivery. It centres the parent as not only the newborn's primary source of comfort but also empowers parental agency to assess and oversee infant needs as an essential member of the care team. ESC encourages a nonjudgemental and attachment-based approach to reframe management of Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome as a parent-provider collaboration, prioritizing non-pharmacologic strategies to optimize infant achievement of their normal milestones related to eating, sleeping, consoling and weight gain. It has been validated to reduce medication use, duration of hospitalization and separations between parent and child. Shared Health Manitoba has endorsed the implementation of Eat Sleep Console across the province. In order to ensure consistency of care and consistency of practice at all of our 13 obstetrical sites provincial documents have been drafted. These documents are now being trialed at the Health Sciences Centre Women's Hospital in Winnipeg. We will present our real-world experience implementing ESC in this presentation.]Extending a warm welcome to you, your colleagues and students to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2024 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series!
