A Message from the Interim Executive Director, Pauline Mason

This is my first opportunity to speak with Saskatchewan Licensed Practical Nurses as Interim Executive Director. These past few weeks have been extremely hectic, but it is always important for each of us to remain focused on our ultimate objective – providing the people of Saskatchewan with excellent, professional nursing care. This is often hard to remember with so much changing on a daily basis in health care, yet critical to our long-term success as caring professional nurses.

As health regions move to adopt Releasing Time to Care, the Ministry of Health is busy introducing the LEAN organizational improvement methodol-ogy. Both are aimed at putting the needs of the patient first and improving the safety, timeliness, efficiency and quality of care. The success of these initiatives is important to each of us as LPNs. The more time each of us can free up from other duties to focus on our patients; the more efficiently we

can move through each day in our workplace, the higher the quality of care we will be able to provide. That’s why we must never see changes in health care as “someone else’s” issue. LPNs occupy the front lines of health care, and each change or major initiative impacts directly our ability to serve our patients. The LPN perspective and input is critical to the success of any health care initiative.

Nowhere is this more important than with the expansion of Primary Health Care in Saskatchewan. Primary Health Care is the day to day care needed to protect, maintain or restore our health. It focuses on keeping people healthy longer rather than on treating them only after they have become ill or injured. Primary Health Care depends on the public’s timely access to a team of health care professionals in the community, which can help prevent illness or injury, and will ultimately reduce the strain on acute care services, with fewer visits to the ER and hospital admissions.

No matter where we might work, Primary Health Care is a critical issue to all LPNs. LPNs are vital members of any Primary Health Care team of professional care providers, whether they are based in a Primary Health Care Clinic, Hospital or any other health care facility.

The Licensed Practical Nurses Act 2000 defines the practise of an LPN as “to provide services within the education and training of Licensed Practical Nurses for the purposes of providing care, promoting health, and preventing illnesses.” LPNs have a fundamental role as care providers in the health care system to promote Primary Health Care principles, and we must engage our government and LPN colleagues in recognizing that role.

On a daily basis LPNs provide Primary Health Care with the provision of patient education. We promote preventative health care by offering information about lifestyle choices, and access to online health care sites. We advocate daily for our patients through our communication and collaboration with Physicians and other members of the health care provider team. Working together we offer safe and professional care focused on the needs of each patient. Upon admission and discharge, we provide care plans and discuss goals for our patients. We send referrals for follow up with multi-disciplinary health professionals. These are but a few examples of how we employ Primary Health Care principles daily.

That’s why I’m so pleased the theme for our 2012 Professional Development Day on October 23rd is: Primary Health Care: Looking after Ourselves, Looking After our Patients. This important day of information sharing will give LPNs a look into Primary Health Care, and how it has long term benefits for the patient and nursing professionals alike.

I look forward to seeing many of you in October. Please take some time to visit with me, other staff members or other members of Provincial Council. We are here to work together with you to protect the public, and promote better patient outcomes, through the efficient and effective regulation of our nursing profession.

DE-ESCALATING POTENTIALLY VIOLENT SITUATIONS™Saskatoon: October 23, 2012; Regina: October 26, 2012

This workshop is designed to teach people to de-escalate potentially violent situations through assertiveness and interpersonal communication. The training will explore how anger and violence interplay, including opportunities for self- assessment of personal styles.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE - Guiding Principles for Communities and OrganizationsSaskatoon: October 24, 2012

This workshop provides a framework for incorporating restorative justice principles into your environment. The timeless philosophy of restorative justice invites people to look beyond a merely punitive view of justice and discipline, and instead emphasizes direct accountability, reparation, prevention, dialogue and, in some cases, renewed relationship.

ADDICTIONS AND MENTAL ILLNESS- Working with Co-occurring DisordersSaskatoon: November 15, 2012; Regina: November 22, 2012

Many people struggling with a mental illness are also struggling with an addiction. Caregivers may often be at a loss for where to start - did the addictions cause the mental illness, did the mental illness cause the addictions or is there something else leading to both? This workshop provides a framework for working systemically with both issues at the same time.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND YOUTH - Creating Opportunities for ChangeSaskatoon: November 16, 2012; Regina: November 23, 2012

Participants of this workshop will examine the needs underlying youth’s choices to use substances. They will also consider issues that make working with youth different than working with adults and explore short term and longer term intervention strategies.

This workshop is designed for managers, human resource professionals, social service providers and anyone seeking a better understanding of the complexities that surround mental illness. Participants will learn about common adult mental illnesses and their symptoms, causes and treatment.

Critical Incident Group Debriefing (CIGD) is a short-term group intervention process that focuses on an immediate crisis.

ANXIETY - Practical Intervention StrategiesSaskatoon: February 21, 2013; Regina: February 27, 2013

Participants of this workshop will explore the natural purpose of anxiety and how it can become ‘disordered,’ including the link with panic, depression, trauma and other health concerns. The main focus of this training will be to learn practical and accessible strategies to assist both adults and children in reducing anxiety.

DEPRESSION - Practical Intervention StrategiesSaskatoon: February 22, 2013; Regina: February 28, 2013

This workshop introduces participants to a variety of effective strategies that can be used to help an individual who is struggling with depression make positive changes.

Sara Londono-Sulkin HEALTH AND INTEGRATION A NECESSARy REvELATIONSara Londono-Sulkin describes “true health as the integration between proper nutrition and life balance.” Her work reflects this perspective, as she weaves and integrates food concepts with those aspects of our lives that are essential to our personal well-being. In her workshop “HEALTH AND INTEGRATION A NECESSARY REVELATION”, she takes us on a journey of self-exploration and insight. Her workshop will increase attendant’s awareness about their own ways of navigating their life-balance boat, and their relationship with food.

Steven Lewis A Practical Necessity: Why My Primary Health Care World Includes LPNsGetting primary health care right is the key to making the whole health system work. An expanded and client- centred PHC system will transform how care is delivered and create terrific new opportunities for LPNs and others. PHC is everyone’s business, and LPNs should play their part in defining what it should be and in realizing its potential.

Steven Lewis is a health policy and research consultant based in Saskatoon, and Adjunct Professor of Health Policy at Simon Fraser University. Prior to resuming a full-time consulting prac-tice he headed a health research granting agency and spent 7 years as CEO of the Health Services Utilization and Research Commission in Saskatchewan. He has served on various boards and committees, including the Governing Council of

the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Saskatchewan Health Quality Council, the Health Council of Canada, and the editorial boards of several journals, including Open Medicine. He writes frequently on improving quality, equity, and performance in health care, and is the moderator of the M.A.S.H. blog – Meaningful Analogies in Sports and Health.

The Story of the First Graduating Class of Certified Nursing Assistants in SaskatchewanIn 1946 the Saskatchewan Government set up a class to mainly train ex service women. The class was to be in Regina with twelve people enrolled. However, since living accommodations were hard to come by at that time, the class was moved to Maple Creek.

Since the hospital in Maple Creek had recently burnt down at that time, the Board took over what had been the Military Hospital. Parts of the hospital were not being used, so they were quickly turned into classrooms and a dormitory.

On October 15, 1946, twelve young ladies arrived in Maple Creek to start their training with Miss L. Marie Young, an ex army nurse. Two of them soon quit, leaving ten to complete the course. According to Mrs. Audrey Hopkins, these ladies became like sisters and to this day still remain close.

They graduated in May 1947 – 65 years ago. Four of these ladies are still with us today, enjoying retirement. Despite the distance between the four, they still talk on the phone on a regular basis.

My maternity leave began in June. Will I need to obtain Continuing Education Points?All SALPN members who held a Practising license for the entire 2012 licensure year must collect the required 5 Continuing Education Points (CEPs). This applies to LPNs who were on a maternity leave, for example, and held a practising license.

SALPN members who renewed in the Non-Practising category and changed their status to Practising at some time during the licensure year will have to collect CEPs according the pro-rated guidelines below.

Length of Practicing License Required pointsSeven to Twelve months licensed 5 Three to Six months licensed 3 Less than Three months licensed 1

SALPN members who renewed in the Non-Practising category and remained in that category for the entire year do not need to obtain Continuing Education Points.

Questions can be forwarded to: Lynsay Donald LPN Practice Consultant [email protected]

LPN ExcellenceLorna Miskolczi, LPN, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Eleven years ago, Lorna Miskolczi was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. With strong will and determination, she overcame the odds and returned to doing what she loves, nursing. Lorna is currently working at the Saskatoon City Hospital and has been an LPN for over 25 years. Lorna says “I truly love and enjoy every bit of being an LPN.” People often say Lorna puts her whole heart and soul into what she does, and that she’s an inspiration to many.

In the September publication of Best Health Magazine, Johnson Insurance announced its selection of three nurses from across Canada for its 2012 Nurse Excellence Awards. Johnson asked Canadians to nominate a special nurse who has gone above and beyond for patients. Lorna was the only one selected in Western Canada. She received $1,500 to give to the healthcare charity of her choice in which she gave to the Saskatoon Cancer Centre.

2011 Licensure AuditThe results are in and the 2011 Annual Licensure Audit was another great success! In March 2012, 10.6% of the SALPN membership was randomly selected to be participants. The audit requires LPNs to provide the appropriate documentation or verification regarding the specific audit for which they were chosen. The SALPN may audit members for; Actual Hours Worked, Continuing Education Points (CEPs) or both Actual Hours Worked and CEPs.

Again this year the SALPN is pleased to report that many members who were audited for CEPs had well more than the 5 that are required to be eligible for annual renewal. This displays a high level of professionalism within our membership and truly is confirmation of the value and importance that Continuing Education plays in the role of today’s LPN. Excellent work to you all and thank you for your participation!
