Nurses and nursing students now have a new place to meet (virtually). And to swap strategies, and to network.

鈥淟ife gets really busy, and sometimes nurses work in isolation from each other or just focus in on their particular specialty and workplace,鈥 says Lorraine Venturato, associate professor and director, International and Global Health in the Faculty of Nursing and an adviser with the new 草莓污视频导航 .

To meet a need for enhanced community networks and added supports for nurses and health-care professionals, 草莓污视频导航 Nursing is pleased to announce the launch of an online resource and support hub called 草莓污视频导航 NurseNetwork. RNs, nursing students and health-care practitioners from all areas of specialty and various university affiliations are invited to join the private group; registration is not limited to 草莓污视频导航 students and alumni.

NurseNetwork is ultimately a private and informal hub for health-care professionals and students to connect with one another during a critical time and to come together as a community. Once they are registered 鈥斅燼 simple process that includes signing a code of conduct 鈥斅爉embers will be able to share ideas and research related to their practice, as well as general tips and resources. The platform will be managed and monitored by 草莓污视频导航 staff administrators, who also will oversee resources shared. A team of five advisers 鈥斅爀xperienced RNs, students and nursing leaders 鈥斅爓ill offer guidance and direction as the forum grows and conversations develop.

The online venture was originally suggested by Venturato and conceived as a forum where all nurses and nursing students could share experiences, tips, fears, and resources related to COVID-19 and other health topics.聽Venturato belongs to a similar group in Australia and saw it as an important central place for health-care workers to share information, knowledge and practical support.

鈥淚 think the online nursing network is really useful to hear about what is happening in other areas of practice,鈥 says Venturato, 鈥渁nd to share thoughts and ideas about practice issues, professional issues, and personal coping strategies.

草莓污视频导航 students and alumni are a vibrant community and this online network provides a place to meet and share and network.

Through the hub, which is housed by the same provider as 草莓污视频导航 Nursing鈥檚 mentoring program (NurseMentor), members will be able to connect online via chat or video. They also can participate in a larger group discussion via an idea hub visible to all members of the group. Resources such as relevant materials, studies, links to groups and associations, news and events, are provided by administrators and shared amongst the group. The program鈥檚 co-ordinator and advisory group will help provide resources and answers to questions while engaging membership and addressing needs as requested.

The goal of this venture is to help unify the health-care community during a critical time, to share clinical tips and strategies and to allow for a central place to collaborate and find support.

Any health-care provider, especially nurses and nursing students, are invited to join the NurseNetwork community and to contribute to the conversation.
