Go Nursing students!
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CM7qbk1C8/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Nursing students are learning the foundations of a healthy population. 🩺

As part of their Community Health Nursing course, students Amanda Buckle (Corner Brook), Emma Smith (D***o), and Carly Taylor (Labrador City) worked with the Association of New Canadians (ANC), St. Anthony office. Through research and conversations, they learned that navigating health care in Newfoundland can be challenging for new Canadians.

The students created a pamphlet in collaboration the ANC to provide information on health care services such as 811- Healthline, Patient Connect, Medicuro, and applying for an MCP.

The team’s goal is to make these services more easily accessible for New Canadians in Newfoundland. 👏
