The University of New Brunswick’s Faculty of Nursing and long-term care organization Shannex Incorporated have launched the UNB-Shannex Long-Term Care Summer Institute. The summer institute will offer nursing students 15-week work placements where they can learn from experienced registered nurses within nursing home communities. It aims to transform the care provided to older adults by inspiring future nurses to become leaders. The program will be delivered for five years with support from Shannex. “These experiences are shaping students into future leaders in elder care,” said UNB VP Academic Dr Petra Hauf.
