This past summer we experienced extreme weather events. How did you cope during that time? Do you feel well prepared to address the health effects associated with extreme heat?

As nurses, we have a specific role to play in caring for patients during times of extreme heat events. What can you do to help mitigate the harmful effects of extreme heat of the patients you care for?

The number of hot days is expected to increase in the coming years.

Start to prepare yourself by attending the Association for Registered Nurses of Manitoba webinar on Climate Change and Extreme Heat. To watch the webinar, click here.

*Please note that the webinar is only available to ARNM members. If you are not a member of the ARNM but are interested in watching the webinar, please contact Jennifer Morin at jlmorin@rrc.ca.

Congratulations to all our graduates! We wish each and every one of you the very best in your new beginnings and wherever your path may take you!

Congratulations to Natasha Kuchta, who was our recipient of the ARNM Gold Medal Award for highest academic and clinical achievement!

Our Pinning Ceremony has great meaning; the pins mark transition from education and preparation into the profession of Nursing, which is a hard but rewarding profession to be in.

Last night was full of encouragement of how you are not a good nurse because you gave your pills on time but because you took the time to acknowledge people as humans and not a number.  It’s the little things that make the best nurses.

Thank you to all the supporters (families and friends, pets, coffee or wine) that helped our students through the rough patches and to the staff for being who you are and organizing a lovely Pinning Ceremony

We have a few exciting paid co-op opportunities that have become available for BIT/BTM students who have completed their third term of study.

This is a great opportunity for our students who are ready to complete their Industry Project or their Co-Op term, and also open to students who are interested in a second term of work experience over Fall 2018.

For each of the three of the below opportunities, students will work in the ACE Project Space for an employer. Here is a listing of the available opportunities:

1. BIT Space Development: Web VR Developer

Funded by the Career Ready program – you will need to be registered for school in the next term. This position classifies as a co-op work term course which requires a tuition payment.

3. Open Innovation – Early Childhood Literacy and Numeracy Project 

The design and development of an adaptive website (versus an app) that will “push” out regular evidence-based messages with short videos to subscribers at no cost. To be piloted first with parents of infants aged 0-12 months.  If the pilot is successful, the intent is to expand the user group to include expectant parents and parents with children aged 1-4 years of age, province wide with additional appropriate content. Interactive elements will provide parents the opportunity to track/log their activity, resulting in “rewards” (e.g., high five) as well as reminders with the potential for other interactive elements either as part of the pilot or down the road (e.g., likes, shares, posting to Facebook, Instagram etc.).

Please contact Dan Greenberg – dgreenberg@rrc.ca or Steve Lawrence – slawrence@rrc.cato apply or for more details. There will likely be interviews for these positions.

All Term 1 students enrolled in an ACE program are required to attend.
