The theme for Nurses Week 2022 is .
Nurses week is a week celebrating the legacy of Florence Nightingale.
We learn a lot about her positive impact in nursing school, but we don’t learn much about her less desirable traits.
To keep with the theme, we are answering the call of nurses who were forgotten by history.
We want to answer the call that never got picked up and share their stories with you.

We hope you had a great nursing students week!

JULITA VILLARUEL SOTEJO

Born in 1906, Julita Villaruel Sotejo is most known for having developed the nursing model of education in the Philippines that is still used today. She graduated as valedictorian of her nursing school class in 1929 and in completing her nursing education, she left feeling unsatisfied and then went to pursue a law degree in which she again was valedictorian for her graduating class. She decided to pursue law to help change the flaws that she learned and witnessed in the healthcare system. After graduating from law school, Julita became the principal and an educator of the Philippine General Hospital School of Nursing to which she continued in her advocation for nursing education by providing improved leadership with assertiveness and creativity.
Julita left her role in 1941 to continue her studies, through fellowships and scholarships, in the United States and Canada. While facing discrimination and injustice, Julita was able to persevere through her hardships and challenge the North American healthcare systems.

Notable Achievements:
~ Became the first Dean of the Philippine General Hospital School of Nursing
Sotejo’s nursing education model is still currently and widely used

EDITH MONTURE

Born on the Six Nations reserve in 1890 and served was a Mohawk First World War veteran. She had little success in gaining acceptance to a nursing program as the Indian Act posed many barriers to Indigenous peoples. She was later accepted to the New York New Rochelle Nursing School, where she graduated and became an RN in 1914. At the age of 27, she volunteered to join the US Army Nurse Corps for the First World War. She continued to advocate for Indigenous health care while working as a nurse and midwife until 1955 (Conn, 2022).

Notable Achievements:

~ She was the first Indigenous woman from Canada to serve in the US Military.
~ In 1939, she was elected honorary president of the Ohsweken Red Cross.
_____________________________

Née dans la réserve des Six Nations en 1890, elle a été une combattante mohawk pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle n’a pas réussi à intégrer le programme de soins infirmiers au Canada car la Loi sur les Indiens posait de nombreux obstacles aux Autochtones. Plus t**d, elle a été acceptée à la New Rochelle Nursing School à New York, où elle a obtenu son diplôme d’infirmière autorisée en 1914. À 27 ans, elle s’est portée volontaire pour intégrer le service infirmier de l’Armée des États-Unis pour la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle a continué à militer en faveur des soins de santé autochtones pendant qu’elle travaillait en tant qu’infirmière et sage-femme jusqu’en 1955 (Conn, 2022).

BERNICE REDMON

Bernice was born in Toronto. In the 1940s, she was looking to gain admission into a Canadian nursing school but black women were routinely denied access to nursing schools in Canada at this time. She later obtained her diploma from a Virginia State School. She graduated in 1945 and returned to Canada where she became a public health nurse in Nova Scotia. It wasn’t until the late 1940s and early 1950s that Canadian nursing programs first allowed Black students to enrol (ONA, 2021; UNA, 2021; ThinkResearch, 2021).

Notable Achievements:
~ Bernice was the first Black nurse to practice in public health.
~ She was the first Black woman to be appointed to the Victorian Order of Nurses in Canada.
_______________________
Bernice est née à Toronto. Pendant les années 1940, elle a tenté de se faire admettre à une école canadienne de soins infirmiers, mais les femmes noires se voyaient couramment refuser l’accès aux écoles de soins infirmiers au Canada à l’époque. En 1945, elle a obtenu un diplôme d’une école de l’État de Virginie. À son retour au Canada, elle a exercé les fonctions d’infirmière de la santé publique en Nouvelle-Écosse. Ce n’est que vers la fin des années 1940 et le début des années 1950 que les programmes de soins infirmiers du Canada ont commencé à admettre des étudiantes noires (AIIO, 2021; IIUA, 2021; ThinkResearch, 2021).

MARY SEACOLE

Mary was born in Jamaica to a black mother and white father, she was born a “free person”. Mary’s mother was known as a healer and shared her skills of traditional Jamaican medicines with Mary.At the age of 12, Mary began helping her mom provide care to the sick and injured soldiers at the New Blundell Hall (her mother’s lodging house). In 1850, she nursed those with cholera back to health using a range of techniques. In 1853, she was caring for the victims of a yellow fever epidemic in Kingston. She later returned to New Blundell Hall and adjusted it to function as a hospital. Mary offered her nursing services for the Crimean war, but was turned down. She then funded her own trip to Crimea, establishing a hotel closer to the fighting than Nightingale’s military hospital. This gave her the opportunity to visit the battlefield and nurse the wounded. She returned to England after the war with little money, but a fundraising gala was held for her in 1857 and attended by over 80,000 people (Mary Seacole Trust, n.d.).

Notable Achievements:
~ Mary and her many accomplishments were lost to history for 100 years; likely overshadowed by Nightingale
~ In 2004, Mary was voted the Greatest Black Briton
~ In 2016, a statue in her honour was unveiled on the grounds of St. Thomas’ Hospital

Each year on the Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour transgender and non-binary people who have lost their lives from transphobic violence. This day of remembrance originated in a vigil held in 1998 for Rita Hester, a transgender woman of colour who was violently murdered in Boston. On this day, we remember all those who have lost their lives due to anti-transgender violence, and we express outrage at the prejudice and discrimination continually experienced by the trans* community.

Chaque année, à l’occasion de la journée du Souvenir trans, nous rendons hommage aux
personnes transgenres et non binaires qui sont mortes en raison de la violence transphobe.
Cette journée est née d’une veille tenue en 1998 à la mémoire de Rita Hester, femme
transgenre de couleur qui a été violemment assassinée à Boston. Nous commémorons en
cette journée toutes les personnes qui ont perdu la vie à cause de la violence à l’égard des
trans et nous exprimons notre indignation devant les préjugés et la discrimination dont
continue à faire l’objet la communauté trans.

November 13-20 marks Transgender Awareness Week, with November 20th being the Transgender Day of Remembrance. We have repeatedly heard from nursing students across the country who feel they do not learn enough about transgender and non-binary patients during their formal education. Trans Care BC, through the Provincial Health Services Authority, has several free educational opportunities to learn more about gender diversity (link in bio)! This is a great way to independently learn more about the 2SLGBTQ+ community through a health-care lens, while additionally advocating for greater inclusion in nursing curricula.
If you have any questions, or would like to join the 2SLGBTQ+ Caucus, e-mail [email protected]! We look forward to hearing from you.
____________________________

Du 13 au 20 novembre aura lieu la Semaine de sensibilisation aux réalités trans, le 20 novembre étant la journée du Souvenir trans. Nous avons entendu parler à maintes reprises d’étudiantes et étudiants en soins infirmiers des différentes parties du pays qui trouvent qu’elles et ils n’en apprennent pas suffisamment au sujet des patient(e)s trans et non binaires dans le cadre de leurs études. Trans Care BC donne gratuitement, par l’entremise de l’autorité provinciale des services de santé (PHSA), plusieurs possibilités d’en apprendre davantage au sujet de la diversité des genres (lien dans la bio)! C’est un excellent moyen d’en apprendre indépendamment plus sur la communauté 2SLGBTQ+ dans l’optique des soins de santé pour pouvoir militer en faveur d’une plus grande inclusion dans le programme d’études en sciences infirmières.
Si vous souhaitez obtenir des précisions ou vous joindre au caucus 2SLGBTQ+, veuillez envoyer un courriel à l’adresse [email protected]! Au plaisir d’avoir de vos nouvelles.
