Contributions

I currently work as a registered nurse in the role of team lead at Sunnybrook Health Sciences centre. I work closely with interdisciplinary team members to ensure quality and safe care is delivered to our post-operative and transitional care patients.  I am passionate about enhancing quality of family and person-centred care through the domains of clinical practice, education, research and leadership. My career goal is to work in the role of a nurse educator, as it embodies the characteristics of a teacher, leader and innovator. I often precept students and mentor new hires, and have the opportunity to share acquired knowledge by integrating best practice guidelines (PBGs), policies and research findings in practices. 

Contributions towards Assignment 4 include describing the Delphi Process, strengths, weaknesses, validity Issues and the practical example. Our team worked collaboratively to discuss diverse perspective, edit, provide feedback and establish respectful, ongoing communication.

I am from Sarnia, Ontario. I completed my Bachelors of Health Sciences Degree in 2016 at Western University. I completed the compressed time frame BScN program at Western and graduated in 2018. Since then, I have been employed at Bluewater Health Hospital in Sarnia. In 2021, I accepted a position as a Stroke Resource Nurse in the District Stroke Program and have found my passion for teaching. I have decided to peruse graduate studies to support this passion and enhance my abilities to provide effective patient and family education.

My contributions to Assignment 4 include describing the Delphi Process, and identifying strengths and weaknesses, and I collaborated with the team to develop the practical example. Additionally, we worked together as a team to edit the information and ensure that our webpage addressed all key aspects of the Delphi method. 

I am originally from Newfoundland where I completed my undergraduate nursing degree in 2022 and started my career as a Registered Nurse (RN). I am currently working as a travel RN in British Columbia and specializing in general med-surg, however, I have also worked in rural Labrador for a period of time working with indigenous communities. I am currently completing my Master of Nursing program with hopes to one day share my knowledge and teach future nurses. 

My contributions to Assignment 4 include identifying when it is appropriate to utilize the Delphi process, assumptions of this method, and including a practical example as well as working with the other group members to edit and add additional information where needed!
