Issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are not new to the practice and discipline of nursing. However, there is no Canadian-based evidence to describe perceptions and attitudes of EDI among practising nurses. This webinar will present a study that aimed to measure and understand perceptions and attitudes among Alberta nurses related to EDI. In a cross-sectional mixed methods study, quantitative data were collected to measure the perception and attitudes of Alberta nurses regarding EDI. Descriptive analyses were used to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the Alberta nurses. Inferential analyses examined the relationship between the discrimination scales and the socio-demographic variables. Qualitative data were collected through individual interviews with nurses and analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. In this webinar, we will share results from this study and implications for both nursing practice and nursing leadership. We will also have allotted time for dialogue and discussion regarding study findings and other matters related to EDI that are important for Canadian nurses.

Palliative care relieves the physical symptoms and supports the psychosocial needs of people with a serious illness. The goal is to help people live as well as possible, this is the same as nurses care goals for all people in their care. Palliative care can be delivered by generalists anywhere in the healthcare system. Nurses are doing palliative care when they improve quality of life, provide interventions, identify unmet needs, anticipate and support declining function and safety needs. They help people maintain dignity and comfort while they experience decline. Our presentation aims to empower and equip nurses to have knowledge, resources and education needed to deliver palliative care to the people in their care.

We have been defining and redefining leadership in nursing and healthcare over the years. As times and circumstances change, leadership has evolved along the way. If leadership isn’t about title or authority, then we need to define it. We will explore leadership as the energy and purposed by which you lead yourself each day and how you serve others. Approaching leadership this way means everyone can lead regardless of their role in the organization. It’s more than an opportunity – it’s our responsibility. In addition to the joy that comes from serving your purpose, this is the single best way to advance your career. We will explore 5 ways to lead from where you are, and what may be holding nurses back from leading. Stop waiting for a magical moment to be a leader. Your time is now.

Dr. Chapman’s webinar presentation will begin with a broad overview of the role of the federal CNO, including a description of the ‘a priori’ agenda items for action and current policy priorities (ie. retention strategies). The underlying message of the presentation will be one of unity: Now more than ever, we need to be united as a profession. We are one profession despite different categories and regional and language differences. We must commit to promoting pan-Canadian harmonized approaches with opportunities for local and regional adaptation. It is now imperative to break down silos within the profession – there is no time for fractures within the profession in any of the work we do going forward – the health of Canadians depends on it.

Leadership doesn’t just happen – confident leaders have a toolkit of ideas and methods that support them when faced with demands, during a crisis, and when things are going well. In this webinar, gain insight into three immediately applicable strategies that our frontline leaders rely on to guide them through the most challenges and how they practice leadership that continues to push forward with the well-being of their colleagues and patients/clients in mind.
