Historically Informed Nursing in the Time of Reconciliation

Abstract

In this article, the authors offer that the 2017 publication of Dr. Sonya Grypma’s article entitled “Historically Informed Nursing the Untapped Potential of Nursing Education” was the catalyst for discussion of how historical content is addressed in nursing curricula and how it should be further enhanced. It offers perspectives on approaches used in undergraduate education to incorporate history in nursing curricula. Additionally, it suggests envisioning historically informed nursing through a relational lens. It will be of interest to readers as the area of pedagogy of historically informed nursing in the global environment of today is an urgent discussion in particular in the current nuances of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, depletion of French-language opportunities and services and immigration.
