The Canadian health care system would benefit from an increase in the number of Aboriginal health practitioners, and in particular nurses, who make up the largest cohort of health professionals in Aboriginal communities.
Healthy Foundations: Nurses’ Role in Building Strong Aboriginal Communities assesses the current status of the Aboriginal-registered nursing workforce and articulates the social and economic benefits that Aboriginal registered nurses provide. It also provides a case study of how the College of Nursing at the University of Saskatchewan established an innovative delivery model using new technologies, which enables a distributed learning baccalaureate nursing program in the remote communities of La Ronge and Île-à-la-Crosse in Northern Saskatchewan. This model can be built upon for future expanded community-based nursing education delivery.
