The Ingram School of Nursing is pleased to announce the appointment of two new clinically-based faculty: Manon Bordeleau and JulieÌýFréchette.
Manon Bordeleau, RN, MSc, earned her BScN from Université de Montréal and her MSc in Nursing Sciences and Nursing Interventions from Université de Sherbrooke, with a focus on clinical breastfeeding coaching training for nurses and lactation consultants. Currently based at the CIUSSS-ODIM on the West Island, Bordeleau serves as Coordinator for Development and Monitoring of Professional Practice. Relying on her expertise in clinical coaching and leadership, she looks forward to facilitating clinical experiences for advanced practice nursing students. “I'd like to be able to convey to them that their academic career is just the beginning of their learning curve as nursing leaders, and that one of the greatest challenges is to transfer the knowledge they learn into the field, into their patient care, clinical projects and interdisciplinary work on a day-to-day basis.â€
A familiar face at the ISoN, Julie Fréchette, RN, PhD, has contributed significantly to the development and advancement of Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare Leadership – a pedagogical approach developed and championed by Professor Laurie Gottlieb. Fréchette earned her BScN at Â鶹AV, her MSc in Human Resources Management at HEC Montréal, and her PhD in Nursing at Â鶹AV. She has authored over 20 scholarly publications and has extensive experience supervising and teaching students as a faculty lecturer at Â鶹AV’s Ingram School of Nursing and the School of Public Health, Université de Montréal.
Currently a Knowledge Broker at the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (OIIQ), Frechette is delighted with her appointment as clinically-based faculty at Â鶹AV. “Although my work as a knowledge broker at the OIIQ has a significant research component, maintaining strong ties with academic life at Â鶹AV is important to me,†she explains. Grateful for the support of exceptional mentors at the School throughout her academic journey, she believes that sharing her expertise is a concrete way to give back to the generous ISoN community. She adds that the benefits extend both ways. “Continuously engaging with Ingram School of Nursing scholars and students will help me feel more connected to up-to-date innovations in practice, research, management, and teaching.â€
Bordeleau is equally excited by the opportunity to teach the next generation of nurses. “Since beginning my career in 2006, thanks to the openness of incredible mentors, teachers and preceptors, I’ve had the opportunity to develop a wide range of competencies, expertise and certifications. The impact I've had on patients, in the field, on my team in the development of professional practice, and now, with Â鶹AV nursing students, helps to keep my passion for nursing alive.â€
