Invitation to Partner with MacEwan University 3rd Year Community Nursing Students Invitation: We are seeking community agencies to partner with the MacEwan Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program in the third year community health nursing course. Our course focuses on health promotion and population health. We are looking for community agencies that have education, health promotion/project needs, or perhaps just need a few extra helping hands! While working with you to accomplish some of the goals of your agency, students will gain an understanding of how working with people from other sectors, disciplines, and associations enhance population health. We would love the opportunity to work with you. Student Role: In consultation with faculty and in collaboration with your community agency, students will utilize relevant decision-making tools and may develop and implement a health promotion project dependent on the needs of your agency. Students are required to understand the mandate of your group or agency and the population(s) you serve. The students will conduct a situational assessment to identify or confirm the needs of your population. The results of the situational assessment may be used to implement a health promotion project or serve as the basis for service learning. Your Role: We would like you to designate a lead person(s) to provide an orientation to your agency, the work you do, and the population you serve. Students will then link with the designated staff to communicate and plan throughout the rotation. Our Role Faculty members will meet with the project lead to clarify goals and expectations. To facilitate communication and accessibility, instructors will be available by phone and email throughout the 5 week time period. Students are required to update and consult with their instructors on a regular basis. Commitment: Each clinical course is 5 weeks and is split between agency time and clinical time. The students are allocated half of their time to their work with your agency (approximately 6-9 shifts). This time can be utilized on site, off site, or a combination of both. We have a total of 6 rotations per academic year (September to April). Our goal is to foster sustainable partnerships. We are open to partnering for as many rotations as you need throughout the year Contact: We hope you will be interested and look forward to hearing from you.If you have further questions, please contact Nichole Jubinville@rhuden@macewan.ca or Catherine Shepherd-Finlin@shepherdfinlinc@macewan.ca.
