Hello April – So happy that you are able to join us in the Intro to research course. Thank you for sharing your background experiences with us and for your nursing leadership and advocacy.
It is nice to see the growing interests of RPNs, researchers and health leaders in driving RPN research evidence forward to address the under representation of RPNs in research and research outputs. Learners enrolled in this course are a great example of the steps RPNs are taking to raise the professional profile of nurses in their workplace and beyond.
I am interested to learn more about your engagement with the Primary care work you were involved in. WeRPN is a partner on a 3-year cross-provincial study titled ‘Scope-PCN: Strengthening Team Based Care: Optimizing the Scope of Practice of Primary Care Nurses’. The study was approved for a national 2024 CIHR Project Grant of $665,550. Project updates are shared in the bi-monthly WeResearch Newsletters, WeRPN’s website, and other communication channels.
Wishing you all the best in this course.
Kindly,
Jen
