Biography

As a Family All-Ages Nurse Practitioner (NP), Janet Luimes has a special interest in patient and family centered preventative health care and promoting mental health for all ages. Janet has worked in a variety of nursing roles and settings, including the emergency department, chronic disease management, family practice, and education. However, her true passion lies in primary health care.

After completing her BScN’05 and MScN’08 at the University of Ottawa, she went on to obtain a Post-master’s Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner Diploma at McMaster University in 2010. Janet has been teaching with the USask College of Nursing since 2012 while maintaining an active clinical practice as a nurse practitioner. Her clinical practice informs her professional practice, scholarship, and educator role, as she looks to support and strengthen nurse practitioner competency development, innovative educational strategies, and integration/optimization of the NP role.
