Bio/Research
My clinical background in pediatric nursing highlighted for me the importance of the relationships that nurses establish with the children and families in their care. The qualitative study I completed for my master’s degree looked at this relationship from the parents’ perspective, while the quantitative study I completed for my PhD examined parental participation in hospitalized children’s care within the context of family-centred care. I am a member of the “Living with Illness across the Lifespan” research cluster, bringing a pediatric family-centered care perspective to this group. I have a particular interest in helping students develop the knowledge and skills they will need to establish therapeutic relationships with their patients, as this is foundational to high quality nursing care.
My interest in the use of simulation in nursing education reflects my commitment to providing nursing students with learning experiences that will engage and challenge them. I have worked with colleagues to develop virtual simulations that provide students with an easily-accessible means of practicing clinical nursing skills. I believe that virtual game simulation can provide a valuable stepping stone between classroom/lab learning and clinical practice, giving students a unique opportunity to practice interacting with a client in a safe environment.
