Campbell
Saskatchewan, Canada
I joined the College of Nursing at the University of Saskatchewan in 2008 as assistant professor. I have spent much of my nursing carrier in community health in urban and remote settings. Prior to my faculty position, I was a Clinical Nurse Specialist in maternal/child health with Health Canada's First Nations and Inuit Health program. I obtained my Diploma in Nursing from George Brown College in Toronto, BScN from the University of Victoria, MN from the University of Saskatchewan, and my PhD from the University of Alberta.
My research program revolves around the deployment of Advanced Practice Nurses to improve the quality of care to older adults and vulnerable populations. Our healthcare system does not need more money, our system needs a change in culture. We need health care workers with the right skills in the right place at the right time, to deliver seamless, client-centred care.
I have taught a number of undergraduate and graduate nursing courses. This coming year I am teaching Exploring Chronicity and Aging, Interprofessional Perspectives: Health Systems and Policy Development in a Global Context in the undergraduate program and Concept Clarification (Nursing Theory) in the graduate program. I believe nursing students need to learn critical thinking, complex reasoning, and writing skills in addition to the skills and knowledge needed as a beginning healthcare professional.
Assistant Professor
After 20 years of clinical nursing practice in primarily maternal/child community health, I entered academia. At the University of Saskatchewan my undergraduate teaching load includes "Health Systems and Policy Development in a Global Context" and "Practice Integration" with 6 students who will be in the Philippines. My graduate course is "Theory for Advanced Practice Nursing Roles and Primary Health Care". My research grant proposals are focused on the integration of advanced practice nurses (APN) into long term care and primary care settings as APNs have be shown to improve the quality of healthcare.
