Presented by the CASN Digital Health Nurse Educator Interest Group
Free webinar: Embracing ChatGPT in Education and Practice
Ce webinaire est offert en anglais seulement.
Date: Friday, May 10, 2024
Time: 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT
An inspiring webinar designed to empower nurse educators across various settings. As technology rapidly advances, health care delivery, education, and research are undergoing a paradigm shift. This webinar aims to keep you at the forefront of these changes by focusing on the integration of AI and large language models (LLMs), using ChatGPT as an example in nursing education and practice. During this webinar, practical applications of ChatGPT in classroom teaching, clinical education, simulation, and lab environments, as well as its role in general nursing practice, will be demonstrated using live demos and exemplars, providing a thought-provoking experience of how ChatGPT can be effectively utilized in each of these areas.

2024 CASN AWARDS – Award Title & Eligibility Criteria Updated
The title and eligibility criteria of the two CASN Nursing Education Excellence Awards have been modified to clarify that there are nursing educators in both college and university member schools who are eligible to be nominated for what was previously labeled the Tenured/Tenure-Track award and what was previously labeled the Non tenured award.
The awards for nursing education excellence are now categorized as Award for Permanent/Tenure-Track /Tenured/Term Faculty Positions and Award for Simulation/Lab/Clinical Teaching Positions.
The Nomination Forms (English and French) have been modified accordingly.
We sincerely hope that this mitigates barriers and ensures educators from both universities and colleges receive recognition for their hard work, commitment, and contributions to nursing education and the profession.

The Leadership, Management, and Policy in Education Interest Group presents
Building Nursing Leadership Education to Support
Academic–Practice Partnerships
Ce webinaire est offert en anglais seulement.
Date: Wednesday, May 8, 2024
Time: 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. EDT
Positive student–instructor relationships are key for student engagement, motivation, and achievement. COVID-19, individual lifestyle changes, economic constraints, and advanced technologies have enabled students to learn at home, and increased class sizes have placed significant pressures on these relationships. This webinar and panel presentation explores the challenges and opportunities of the student–instructor relationship in the context of nursing leadership education and various learning modalities. The focus will be on learning more about who the current leadership student is, and the pressures student nurses face to strengthen the student–instructor relationship to enhance student engagement in the classroom. In addition, the nurse manager perspective will highlight the transition experiences of graduate nurses and workforce integration. Panel speakers will be faculty/instructors, nurse managers, and undergraduate students.

Article Spotlight
Student Peer Mentorship in
Prelicensure Nursing Programs:
A Scoping Review (en anglais seulement)
Avanthay Strus et al.
A scoping review was undertaken to inform the development of a peer mentoring program in the nursing faculty of an official-language francophone minority post-secondary institution in Western Canada. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with mentorship coordinators in seven undergraduate nursing programs across Canada. The scoping review revealed that, in general, the mentoring program reduced mentees’ stress and anxiety, that they felt guided and supported, and that they experienced a sense of well-being in the presence of their mentors. The semi-structured interviews corroborate these findings.

Mise à l’essai d’un nouveau modèle de supervision
de stage en sciences infirmières : l’unité
collaborative d’apprentissage (in French only)
Bilodeau et al.
L’unité collaborative d’apprentissage (UCA) est un modèle de supervision de stage en sciences infirmières qui pourrait optimiser les ressources dédiées à la formation clinique en partageant la supervision des étudiantes et étudiants au sein d’une équipe de soins. Cet article présente les résultats du troisième cycle d’une recherche-action qualitative qui avait pour but d’accompagner et de documenter l’appropriation d’une UCA, par et pour des partenaires de la formation clinique en sciences infirmières. Les résultats de cette étude indiquent que la mobilisation de divers partenaires dans un projet de recherche participative permet leur appropriation d’un nouveau modèle de supervision de stage et se traduit par une expérience de mise à l’essai globalement positive.

Indigenous Nursing (kā-wīci-pimohtēmāt) Professional Practice Group (PPG)
kā-wīci-pimohtēmāt Professional Practice Group – Promoting Indigenous Nursing and Indigenous Health and Wellness in Saskatchewan (indigenousnursesppg.ca)
kā-wīci-pimohtēmāt (a person who walks with others on their journey) is a group of Indigenous (First Nation, Métis, and Inuit) nurses whose goal is to educate, collaborate, and enable all Saskatchewan nurses to work together to address the current health disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, and to facilitate a platform for direct communication between the College of Registered Nurses of Saskatchewan (CRNS) and the Indigenous nurses in this province.
Our goals are to:
- Promote professional growth in members.
- Promote growth and support (mentorship) to Indigenous undergraduate and graduate nursing students and nurses.
- Advance recruitment and retention of Indigenous nurses.
- Advance the wellness of Indigenous peoples.
- Provide opportunities for continuing competency related to equitable and culturally safe nursing care for Indigenous peoples.
- Identify objectives that contribute to CRNS strategic endpoints.
-
Facilitate the integration of the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action #18-24.
- Review expert literature and policies related to Indigenous peoples.
- Collaborate with Canadian Indigenous Nurses Association (CINA).
Welcome to the Indigenous Nurses Professional Practice Group Online Clothing Order Program. The PPG has created a symbol of beaded flowers to represent Indigenous nurses in Saskatchewan. They would like to share the opportunity with all nurses in Canada to purchase the clothing, as part of sharing their culture with non-Indigenous Canadians. Membership is open for First Nation, Metis, and Inuit nurses in Canada.

Nursing the Future continues to support new graduate nurse and supporter needs through our NTFLive sessions, a wide-reaching seminar series in which issues at the forefront of nursing are presented by experts, with a solutions-focused approach. Recently, we have begun to explore workplace safety for new graduates and their supporters. Our latest seminar featured Victoria Schmid, CEO of SWITCH BC and Dr. Kimberly Ritchie, Graduate Program Director Trent/Fleming School of Nursing, joined by Madison Hanson, 2SLGBTQIA+ Caucus Chair and Alisha D'Souza, New Graduate Advocate for the Canadian Nursing Students Association. This important conversation addressed the challenges faced by newly graduated nurses navigating the stress of fitting into the culture of their workplaces. The seminar explored what can be done to support new graduate integration into the workforce and how environments could be fostered where nurses are enabled to create workplaces that embrace and welcome progressive change. It was a fantastic seminar for both new graduates and their supporters, view it here! For future sessions, follow our social media accounts to stay connected and get your tickets!
Additionally, CASN’s own fantastic work of the National Nurse Residency Program was highlighted on our website, with Karyn Unrau, Territorial Manager of Clinical Education in the Northwest Territories sharing her incredible experience of partnering with CASN to deliver the Nurse Residency Program, see it here!
