The standards are accompanied by specific learning outcomes, which set clear expectations for knowledge and behaviour for students completing a baccalaureate nursing education program in Canada.

Free webinar
The Nurse's Role in Supporting Reproductive Justice with Indigenous Peoples
Date and time: Thursday, March 13, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. EST
This webinar will explore barriers to accessing abortion care services faced by Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Historical and ongoing harms against Indigenous women in healthcare, such as forced sterilization, requires nurses to understand how to provide trauma- and violence-informed, culturally safe, abortion care. Participants will understand how the social and structural determinants of health impact Indigenous people’s access to abortion care. Strategies and resources that support nursing care in this area will be shared.

Le rôle des infirmières et infirmiers dans le soutien à la justice reproductive auprès des peuples autochtones

Le personnel infirmier doit comprendre comment prodiguer des soins abortifs culturellement sécuritaires qui tiennent compte des traumatismes et de la violence découlant des préjudices historiques et actuels en matière de santé – comme la stérilisation forcée - subis par les femmes autochtones. Les participantes et participants comprendront les effets souvent néfastes des déterminants structurels et sociaux de la santé sur l’accès aux soins abortifs pour les personnes autochtones. Des stratégies et des ressources permettant de soutenir la pratique infirmière dans ce domaine seront également présentées.

Our teams have produced a series of open educational nursing resources freely available online resulting in significant textbook cost savings for students. These resources are designed for undergraduate nursing students at the introductory level. Current topics include health assessment, communication, documentation, scholarly writing, and anti-racism.
In this summary, we highlight the Introduction to Health Assessment for the Nursing Professional resource: https://pressbooks.library.torontomu.ca/assessmentnursingmain/#main (links to the other topics can be found in the “introductory” section of this resource). This resource is a unique contribution to nursing education as it integrates inclusive approaches to health assessment and culturally-responsive techniques related to race/ethnicity, gender/sex/sexual orientation, body sizes/types, and ability/disability. A multimodal pedagogy (images/videos) was employed to support students’ learning.
The resource is informed by clinical judgement with the goal to facilitate students’ clinical decision-making and ability to prioritize care by recognizing and acting on cues of clinical deterioration. Interactive clinical judgement activities and formative assessments to evaluate learning are integrated throughout the chapters. The integration of clinical judgement throughout this resource supports students’ capacity to enhance patient safety and equitable health outcomes as well as their success in writing national nursing exams. This health assessment resource is recommended as a socially progressive text with important attention to equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility as related to health assessment content as well as open textbook design.
For more information, contact Dr. Jennifer Lapum, Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing, Toronto Metropolitan University, jlapum@torontomu.ca
