National Nursing Week
Nurses are the heartbeat OF HEALTH CARE
MAY 12 TO 18, 2014
I am a leader in healthcare
The organization of the healthcare system in Canada relies heavily on the competence and training of registered nurses. These men and women are leaders in practical medicine, relentlessly advocating for better policy making, better care, and better services. It is no surprise, then, that during National Nursing Week, the Canadian Nurses Association is once again promoting the theme “Nursing: a leading force for change”. The women and men who make up Canada’s nursing forc- es are indeed leaders in their field. They staff public health clinics in communities all across the country; they are on the front lines of medical care, working to prevent communicable disease, such as STDs, educate mothers and fathers about infant care, and ensure that young children are properly vaccinated against preventable illnesses. Under the auspices of Health Canada’s First Nations and Inuit Health Branch, about 675 registered nurses provide primary
healthcare in about 200 remote healthcare centres, along with only 22 doctors. These nurses are often required to make split-second decisions with no on-site medical backup; such decisions can sometimes mean life or death for the people involved. There is little doubt; these nurses are truly the face of leadership in medicine today.
The Canadian NursesAssociation highlights the role of nur- ses in healthcare leadership with these nursing pledges: I help maintain dignity and quality of life I influence health policy I work as part of a team to deliver better care I show people how they can live a healthy life I go where I am needed
