2001-2002 IVELDT-a ^.*VOl Iarbor! University of Toronto Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2018 with funding from University of Toronto https://archive.org/details/calendar2002nurs A s I write this message, health care in Canada seems to be in turmoil. We are facing a serious nursing shortage and nurses and citizens are concerned about retaining the nurses already in the system as well as recruiting new professionals. This has increased the focus and attention on the many roles nurses play and the significant contribution we make to the well being of the community and the country. The Faculty of Nursing is pleased to be able to be expanding our undergraduate and graduate programs to help address the need for more beginning practitioners as well as more advanced practice nurses. Through our educational pro¬ grams and the strength and relevance of our research programs we are proud to be able to continue to play a part in addressing the current and future needs of Canadians. There is a lot going on in the Faculty of Nursing and at the University ofToronto. This document provides only a small amount of that information. 1 encourage you to check our website regularly at www.nursing.utoronto.ca to keep up with the many programs and activities that make the Faculty of Nursing the interesting and pro¬ gressive place that it is. I also encourage you to become familiar with the University of Toronto and its many programs and activities; it is a truly great university and you will enjoy participating and being part of it. We are also privileged to partner with the best health care agencies in the country—these agencies provide students with the best possible experience and the opportunity to work with excellent colleagues in a variety of disciplines and professions. As I write this message, I am preparing to retire as Dean of the Faculty of Nursing. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be part of the Faculty of Nursing and to help us chart our plans for the future. We have a new vision and new goals and the future looks bright for us. I know that under the leadership of the incoming Dean, Dr. Dyanne Affonso, these goals will be realized, if not exceeded. Good luck to all—by working together, we can shape our desired future. GailJ.
