24 | A Closer Look at Primary Care Nursing with Melissa Waddell

In this episode, we're joined by Melissa Waddell in her role as President of the Alberta Primary Care Nurses Association.  She talks about the future of nursing in primary care as we move toward a greater focus on team-based care and sharing the load to manage the care deficit.  Melissa provides some details on the current scopes of practice for Alberta nurses - particularly RNs and LPNs,  and highlights areas where they can provide excellent support in busy family practices.
