Eighty years of Queen's nursing

Growing up in a refugee camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Daria Adèle Juüdi-Hope dreamed of becoming a healer. 

Poverty and suffering were all around her. A beloved aunt died in her 30s for want of the simple medication that would have treated her chronic illness.

She did not expect to find that same need in Canada.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�As a refugee and an immigrant coming to this part of the planet, I grew up not knowing there are people suffering here,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Ms. Juüdi-Hope (NSc카지노 게임 컬렉션�11).

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I thought of myself as a healer,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says in a phone call from Sioux Lookout, Ont., where she oversees nursing care in several isolated First Nations communities.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�My goal was figuring out how to become that and then go back home where people are suffering. I thought I카지노 게임 컬렉션�d finish up school and go back to DRC or Africa, anywhere there is poverty.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t know much about the Indigenous situation here.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Ms. Juüdi-Hope and other graduates of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s School of Nursing are making a difference in ways that would seem unimaginable to the young women 카지노 게임 컬렉션� and they were all women 카지노 게임 컬렉션� who entered the school카지노 게임 컬렉션�s first class, 80 years ago this year.

Back then, changing dressings and emptying bedpans made up the bulk of nursing work. Today, a nurse is just as likely to be providing front-line medical care in a remote community supported by video links to a big-city hospital. He may author academic papers at the forefront of medical research. She may develop and implement preventative policies to keep people from becoming ill or teach a new generation of health-care providers in Canada or anywhere in the world.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Even when I started in nursing in 1986, when a physician walked into the room I had to stand up,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Erna Snelgrove-Clarke, director of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s School of Nursing since 2019.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Now we walk in together. Collaboration and teamwork have changed immensely. Nursing was a task-based profession. When nursing moved to the university, it became a theory-based, evidence-informed profession. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a different mindset from what we used to do,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Nurses aren카지노 게임 컬렉션�t just those who provide patient care anymore. Nurses are educators, they카지노 게임 컬렉션�re researchers. They카지노 게임 컬렉션�re administrators. They work with homeless persons. They work in prisons. They work rurally.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

When Sue Williams graduated from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Nursing in 1971, she wore the nurse카지노 게임 컬렉션�s uniform of apron, bib, collar, and cap. The uniforms would go within a few years (카지노 게임 컬렉션�when we stopped wearing the starched collar, it took a year for the ring around my neck to go away,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says), but nurses were still regarded as 카지노 게임 컬렉션�the physician카지노 게임 컬렉션�s handmaiden.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Career planning wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t big back in the day,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Ms. Williams, who would go on to become director of the Ryerson School of Nursing and is past president of the Registered Nurses카지노 게임 컬렉션� Association of Ontario. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�That카지노 게임 컬렉션�s very different now. Nursing students think more broadly about what opportunities are out there for them and what education might be needed to accomplish those goals.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The vision is wider now. The opportunities are wider.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

And, like the job, nurses themselves have changed.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�That카지노 게임 컬렉션�s one of the things that is ever more exciting about nurses,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Snelgrove-Clarke says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�They카지노 게임 컬렉션�re a bit more disruptive. They카지노 게임 컬렉션�re a bit more willing to challenge the status quo. They demand a different form of education. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s not as didactic as it once was. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s dynamic and it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s interactive. Gen X is different from those previous generations.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Male nurses are common in Kenya, where Adan Abdi grew up, but he was one of just a handful of men in his BNSc class of 2007. He remembers his time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s as the best years of his life.

But Mr. Abdi says it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s impossible for any school to teach all he needed to know when he took his first job in the isolated Cree community of Kashechewan on the Albany River near James Bay in Northern Ontario.
카지노 게임 컬렉션�As a northern nurse, you are a generalist,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Abdi, an Ottawa--based assistant director of nursing for Indigenous Services Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s First Nations and Inuit Health Branch.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�You카지노 게임 컬렉션�re really doing the job of a physician. But what you need to have is critical thinking and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s really helped with that. It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s the idea of going up north and not having all the answers, but knowing your resources and who you can reach out to,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The work there was different than the traditional work in a hospital. In hospital you may provide care to a specific patient population and medical supports are readily available if required. But in the north, you do everything. Sometimes you카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll be asked to do things that you카지노 게임 컬렉션�re not comfortable with. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Someone can walk you through it over the phone and then you just have to do it. Literally, the life of that person depends on you.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Now an administrator, Mr. Abdi sees his new role as effecting change.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�You have the ability to influence change and advocate on behalf of nurses. You have the ability to change the profession.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Change is occurring within the school as well. Dr. Snelgrove-Clarke says the school카지노 게임 컬렉션�s new strategic plan rests on three pillars: the latest trends in care and nursing practices; student mental health and wellness; and, under the direction of Dean of Health Sciences Dr. Jane Philpott, EDIIA 카지노 게임 컬렉션� Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Indigeneity, and Accessibility.

To help students cope, the school has a wellness coach and this year added a mental-health counsellor.
No longer are nurses expected to endure violence and trauma, then be expected to bury it deep inside and show up for the next shift as if nothing had happened. That awareness starts in school.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�People need to talk about how they카지노 게임 컬렉션�re feeling,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Snelgrove-Clarke says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We live in an era where people are much more comfortable saying, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Hey, I have anxiety.카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Putting the school under an EDIIA lens requires some unflinching honesty, examining the program as closely and objectively as one would a patient. One aspect of that is 카지노 게임 컬렉션�decolonizing카지노 게임 컬렉션� the curriculum, Dr. Snelgrove-Clarke says.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�It means looking at the syllabi to see how we can unlearn past practices and learn new and more inclusive ways of supporting other persons, not only in the classroom, but also in the content of the curriculum,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says.

That means being open to other cultural practices. The importance of smudging for Indigenous Peoples, for example, or the need in some cultures to include aunts and grandmothers in the birthing ritual.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s being aware of those practices in some cultures and asking what matters. It means finding ways in our communication to make sure we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re meeting other people카지노 게임 컬렉션�s expectations and needs, and not being afraid to ask those questions.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

It was a surprise for Ms. Juüdi-Hope when she took a job as a northern nurse in Fort Albany, Ont., on James Bay, to find the similarities between her own African culture and that of Indigenous Canadians.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I didn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t know much about the Indigenous situation in this country. Once I learned about it in school and by doing my own learning in the library, I related to some of their struggles 카지노 게임 컬렉션� racism, discrimination, and the aftermath of colonization. I felt for the population and their struggles,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says.

Nor has she forgotten her own roots. After a few years of experience as a northern nurse, she began to consider working overseas. It was hard to balance the needs of those in her old home with needs in her new country. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I wish I could send myself in many directions,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I thought, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Does it really make sense for me to go to work there [in Africa] when we need help here?카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션�

She wanted to do more than a short stint of clinical work where 카지노 게임 컬렉션�you go into these communities for two weeks and do as much as you can, which is emotionally draining, then you pack and leave after two weeks and those folks won카지노 게임 컬렉션�t see you again until you come back in a year.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Ms. Juüdi-Hope decided the best way to have a lasting impact would be to become a teacher herself. She joined a global health NGO to teach nursing and pre-med students while providing medical and dental care in rural in Kenya and Uganda.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I worked for that organization specifically because there was an educational component. As a person who카지노 게임 컬렉션�s been there and gone through all that and wanting to help my people, I felt that what I could do, since I cannot be there, is to teach the others what I know and sharing and exchanging knowledge.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I think the best thing to do is to support those communities and sponsor students and they stay home and practise there.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a vision that the founders of the School of Nursing 80 years ago would recognize. And one still imbued in the school today.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Eighty years have brought change in uniform, change in diversity and education, from the kind of person who comes into nursing through to how we provide care and help to other people,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Snelgrove-Clarke says.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�When you think of the 80-year trajectory, I don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t think we talked about climate change and the impact of the social determinants of health when nursing began in the hospital,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�But the issues have evolved immensely.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a spirit summed up in how Dr. Snelgrove-Clarke describes how the School of Nursing adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Our last 18 months have been ones of acceptance and commitment,카지노 게임 컬렉션� she says, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�and changing it up when we needed to.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
