With National Nursing Week now well underway, the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) is honoured to have the opportunity to shine light on the incredible work nurses do across BC – in community and virtually – as they serve First Nations people and communities.
Nurse leaders are the cornerstone of healthcare excellence – they drive innovation, foster collaboration and ensure optimal patient care. In response to colonization and subsequent inequities in health status of First Nations across BC, FNHA’s Office of the Chief Nursing Officer (OCNO) has mandated a system that incorporates the concept of cultural safety, humility and trauma informed care into its practices.
