Kathleen Kulyk RN, BSN, MN

Kathleen is a graduate of the Nursing Education Program of Saskatchewan (NEPS) and began her nursing career in a regional Saskatchewan hospital working in medicine and surgery. Following an opportunity to complete the Perioperative nursing certificate, she eventually settled in the operating room, working both in regional and tertiary facilities.

Kathleen completed her Master of Nursing thesis in 2017, which examined dementia care in rural areas to support research work by the Rural Dementia Action Research (RaDAR) team in Saskatchewan. At this time, she also began a career in research with the Canadian Drug Agency (CDA). She supported the uptake and implementation of research findings in the Saskatchewan healthcare system and was able to collaborate with clinicians, health system decision-makers, and senior government leaders. This role involved a large amount of teaching and facilitation and set the basis for her interest in undergraduate education.

Kathleen has taught and coordinated a variety of labs, clinicals, and lectures in the College of Nursing. Her teaching philosophy is centered on creating safe learning spaces, with a focus on engaging learner interest through accessibility, accountability, and stimulation of critical thought. Kathleen greatly appreciates being involved in a nursing student’s journey to practice.
