The Employed Student Nurse Program at Vancouver Coastal Health allows students in nursing school to be employed as a student nurse while completing their school. This is a paid opportunity for students to consolidate their nursing schools while completing their schooling and to help them gain information about where they may want to practice.
Part of the program includes providing 1 day workshops while students are in this program. These are run by Clinical Nurse Educators, who have a background of working in different specialty areas. We are designing a workshops that focuses on nursing skills in the areas of mental health, primary care, long term care, public health and urgent care.
One of our sessions focuses on different patients journeys and their experience in hospital and mainly out of hospital being followed by community services. We are hoping to engage a patient voice to explain their journey interacting with various community services that could include primary care clients, outpatient clinics, mental health teams, long term care and/or public health.
We are running three workshops this year in June, August and September. Engagement would be 30mins.
