Description of Planned Activities
This project has a number of objectives. It collaborates with the PRIESH project in the Estrie region to create summer externships. Preparation for these externships includes both support for student nurse supervisors and an information package and workshop to assist students with French language medical terminology. Students from Estrie studying at Vanier are targeted. It also works with CSSS in the East End of Montreal to secure term-time placements for student nurses in Anglophone settings. Outreach is a big aspect of the project, consisting of surveys, trips to the region as well as health promotion fairs. All aspects of the project encourage students to eventually gain employment in these areas.
Budget Allocation
$60,000
