La Ronge Nursing Student Claims Third Prize in Northern Visionaries Video Essay Contest
Northlands College recently held its annual Northern Visionaries Video Essay Contest for the fourth consecutive year and we are proud to announce second year nursing student from the La Ronge Campus, Tina Shaw, has claimed third prize.
This unique opportunity for postsecondary students in northern Saskatchewan is designed to allow students to creatively focus on concepts including indigenization of their chosen field, education, leadership and innovation. Over 60 students submitted video essays outlining the ways in which they want to contribute to northern communities and better northern Saskatchewan.
College of Nursing’s Acting Assistant Dean Prince Albert and Northern Campus Dr. Janet McCabe was a judge in the contest. “Through her video, Tina demonstrated an understanding of the need for robust health care professionals, specifically nursing, in northern Saskatchewan. She linked the contribution that Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners can make to the health of individuals and the health care team, by looking at the bigger picture, through providing holistic care. Impressively, as a second year Bachelor of Science in Nursing student, Tina was able to identify the need for nurses to impact social determinants of health and address more than the acute issues that arise.”
At the Northern Visionaries Gala held on Saturday, May 6th, students were recognized for their hard work and passion by honouring the top five video essays. Congratulations Tina on a project very well done!
