Calling All Nurses - Season 2 Episode 10 - Live at NIC

Send a textListen as NIC faculty alumni and Calling All Nurses co-hosts Betty Tate, RaeAnn Hartman, and Martha Russell discuss with their guest, Shanyn Simcoe, how her nursing education at NIC led her to political advocacy and change making in community health policy against the backdrop of the toxic drug poisoning public health crisis. Shanyn was a guest on Season One of the podcast and we were thrilled to have her back with us in front of our live audience!Shanyn Simcoe is a registered nurse of settler and Indigenous ancestry raised in Treaty 13 territory and currently residing on the unneeded and traditional territory of the K'omox Nation. Shanyn's nursing career has been predominantly in direct care in acute psychiatry, primary care, and community-based Mental Health and Substance Use with a recent shift to a regional quality and safety leadership role following completion of an advanced practice leadership graduate degree. For her, in addition to being an inherent responsibility, political activism is also an act of self-care. Instagram: @calling.all.nursesComments and feedback can be sent to our email: [email protected]
