CASN is pleased to announce the recent launch of a new discussion paper entitled Framework of Strategies for Nursing Education to Respond to the Calls to Action of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, developed by the CASN Truth and Reconciliation Task Force in partnership with the Canadian Indigenous Nurses Association (CINA).

The purpose of this paper is to provide national support for reconciliation by fostering reflection related to decolonization and indigenization and by offering direction to schools of nursing in responding to the TRC Calls to Action. The discussion paper is freely available in French and English on the CASN website.

Webinar: Recommendations for educating future nurse scientists to lead effective digital health interventions

This webinar is a special presentation organized by the Canadian Association of School of Nursing (CASN) Digital Health Interest Group. It will take place on Wednesday, December 9, 2020 from 1500- 1600hrs EST. Registration closes Tuesday, December 8 at 2359hrs. 

The implementation of digital health interventions in populations with chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease, asthma, depression) has been shown to simplify condition management, improve quality of care and patient outcomes, and enhance information sharing between patients, caregivers and providers. The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need for effective digital health interventions for use in patient care. Nurse scientists are well-positioned to lead this digital health intervention research, however, in order to move the science of digital health research forward, a standardized set of competencies for educating future nurse scientists to conduct this work must be developed.

Coming in 2021, CASN will create a free, open-access e-resource that will address the learning outcomes contained in the Guidelines for Undergraduate Nursing Education on Climate-Driven Vector-Borne Diseases. Ultimately, CASN aims to support nurse educators in preparing future nurses to care for individuals, families, communities and populations affected by, or at risk of being affected by, climate-driven VBDs. More...

En 2021, l’ACESI créera une ressource électronique gratuite à accès libre pour aborder les résultats d’apprentissage figurant dans les Lignes directrices de formation infirmière de premier cycle sur les maladies à transmission vectorielle liées à la variabilité climatique. L’objectif de l’ACESI est de soutenir les infirmières enseignantes afin qu’elles puissent préparer les infirmières futures à soigner les individus, les familles, les communautés et les populations touchés ou risquant d’être touché par les MTV liées à la variabilité climatique. Suite...

À la demande générale, l'ACESI lance un nouveau groupe d'intérêt : Leadership, gestion et politiques en formation infirmière.  Inscrivez-vous dès maintenant!  

Do you teach (didactic, clinical or simulation) in a Canadian baccalaureate nursing program? If so, you are being invited to take part in a research study.

You are being asked to complete an anonymous electronic survey. The survey has demographic and background questions and a global health competencies instrument. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

The purpose of this research is to identify the knowledge of global health and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) among nursing faculty members.

The Arthur Labatt Family School of Nursing, Western University, seeks an accomplished academic to join a leading edge School of Nursing with a 100-year history of academic and research excellence as the inaugural Arthur Labatt Family Chair in Nursing Leadership in Health Equity. To support this exciting research initiative, Nursing is seeking an academic colleague at the rank of Associate Professor or Full Professor in a Tenured position, who will also be the Arthur Labatt Family Chair in Nursing Leadership in Health Equity, for a term of five-years, renewable.
