$9.47M Pledged For Aboriginal Nurse Training

Meagen Gunn will hang her licensed practical nurse diploma where she’s needed most — a new aboriginal training program unveiled Monday in Winnipeg will help her do it.

“Nothing is too far,” the 31-year-old Gunn said Monday. “I’ll go where they need me.

“It takes a certain creed to make a nurse,” said Gunn. “Everybody in my class has that same outlook. We know what we need to do. We know where we’re needed. It’s for the people.”

Ottawa and the province will spend $9.47 million for Gunn and 149 other aboriginal and Métis people to become licensed practical nurses so they can work in communities such as Cranberry Portage, Ebb and Flow First Nation, Oxford House, Nelson House, Dauphin and Selkirk.

The LPN training program for aboriginal people was announced Monday by Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade Minister Peter Bjornson and Selkirk-Interlake MP James Bezan at the Manitoba Métis Federation’s Winnipeg office.

The MMF, First Peoples Development Inc., and Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, which represents northern bands, are also involved in the program.

While the province has put more focus on training LPNs, recruitment in isolated communities remains a challenge. Nursing shortages have plagued remote Manitoba First Nations for the last few years, forcing nursing stations to temporarily close and a dozen others to work with a fraction of their regular staff.

“Having more LPNs providing supports to First Nation and Métis communities ensures there are caregivers for the residents of those communities,” Bjornson said.

LPNs perform nearly identical services as registered nurses, but complete their training in half the time.

The program announced Monday will see participants enrol in an 18-month training program.

“Our teaching is so in-depth,” Gunn said.

“What we learn covers a broad spectrum. When we graduate we will be able to help everybody.”

Registered nurse helping others nurses taking control of their nursing career The nursing Shepherd is run and operates by a registered nurse who has a desire to see nurses are empowered to take control of their career and ultimately their lives. The birth of this coaching firm came about several years ago while running a nursing recruiting firm where nurses that were burned-out, overworked, and exhausted were looking for a way out jumping from one nursing job to another.

It was exciting connecting nurses to various employers, but shortly after noted the need to offer nurses more than another nursing job, but a career blueprint to help them create a vision to get them to where they wanted to go and to find ultimate nursing career fulfillment. The founder of the Nursing Shepherd believes that nurses are the CEO of their lives. They are being encouraged to look at their lives with the perspective of running a successful, growing and a profiting business.

When nurses begin to take control and responsibility for their nursing career, it means that they have the ultimate control over the vision and direction of their career dreams. For many years, nurses have not wanted to take charge of their career, and feel more comfortable turning this role over to their employers; and yet actively complaining about their lack of satisfactions instead of taking control of their lives. Nurses are the CEO of their own lives. They alone are responsible for the level of success that they experience professionally, and equally responsible for the lack of success or dissatisfaction that they may encounter.

The level of success that nurses will experience is defined by the career vision that they create and the choices that they make consistently. The problem with this concept is that must nurses do not have a nursing career vision, and most nurses do not believe that it is possible to incorporate their true self with their tremendous body of nursing knowledge to create their dream nursing job.

The good news is that the founder of the Nursing Shepherd, Emma Soy is in the business of helping nurses to create a career vision to help them land their dream nursing job, whatever that dream may be. All things are possible, only if you believe. Come and dream big and contact us the Nursing Shepherd for a complimentary 30-minute coaching session.
