Calling All Nurses
As newly retired nurses, we continue our passion for helping the public understand the scope, challenges, and rewards of contemporary nursing practice, using the lived experiences of point of care nurses. In Season 1 we spoke with nurses making change with challenges of social concern, such as Indigenous health, the toxic drug poisoning crisis, planetary health, public health and the pandemic, and challenges in acute care.
In Season 2, we are speaking with nurses in positions of influence provincially, in B.C., nationally, in Canada, and internationally. Season 2 is available now!
Calling All Nurses
Calling All Nurses - S2, Episode 1 - Introduction to Season Two
We are back and so excited to bring you Season 2! Season 1 focused on conversations about nursing voice and advocacy with an amazing group of point of care nurses and how they brought leadership and change into their practices, despite challenging times. Season 2 focuses on the collective voice of nurses, collaboration, and how our nursing organizations liaise with nursing and each other to engage, support, listen, and act to change the current landscape of nursing.
This season we are speaking with:
- Angela Wignall, Director, Professional Practice & Health Policy with the Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of British Columbia (NNPBC), BC’s professional nursing association.
- Patrick Chiu, Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta with a current research program about professional regulation.
- Zachary Matieschyn, Executive Director and Chief Nursing Officer for the BC Nursing Policy Secretariat
- Leigh Chapman, Chief Nursing Officer for Canada

- Christine Penney, Chief Officer and Deputy Registrar, Regulatory Policy and Programs for the BC College of Nurses & Midwives [BCCNM]

Get set to hear about outstanding enthusiasm for nursing, current system level projects in nursing, and collaboration that highlights the collective voice, giving everyone hope for the future of healthcare.
