Joshua Thompson BScN student
Research Assistant
Hello
Hello
I have a developed interest in mental health and disability research. As a future member of the nursing community, I strive to dive into the struggles of nurses in the field and hopefully provide solutions to many of the challenges that are affecting nurses not only in Canada, but worldwide as well. In joining this team, I hope to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve my goals not only as a nurse, but a future mentor as well.
My Story
I decided to join this research team because of my own personal understanding of how teaching methods can greatly influence a (nursing) students’ performance. Having previous post-secondary education that did not include innovative teaching methods such as simulation learning, I believe that I will be able to compare the outcomes and determine how such engagement can benefit a nursing student. Exploring how new innovative teaching methods can improve self-confidence while decreasing performance anxiety can enhance nursing education. These research methods also align with my own interest in public health, by helping to create strong foundational characteristics that are essential for nurses to help care for the public and ultimately improve quality of patient care.
