Thank you everyone. I know that Creative Clinical Teaching is being used in one course in our College of Nursing. I will pass on to the instructor that there does seem to be some interest in a potential collaboration around a fundamental text. Perhaps this is something we can talk about for those of us who will be at OpenEd in October.

Hi Everyone,

Creative clinical teaching in the health professions is also available in the BC Open Textbook Collection.

In addition, we have Clinical Procedures for Safer Patient Care, created by BCIT nursing instructors, Glynda Rees and Jodie McCutcheon, a new checklist reference book funded by BCcampus.

Hi Heather, 
I reached out to the main advocate for OER in nursing in Alberta and didn't source anything at the foundations level. Sorry. She has a few others if you're interested: 
  • Melrose, S., Park, C. & Perry, B. (2015). Creative clinical teaching in the health professions.  Available at http://epub-fhd.athabascau.ca/clinical-teaching/
  • Melrose, S., Park, C. & Perry, B. (2013). Teaching health professionals online: Frameworks and Strategies. Athabasca, AB, Canada: AU Press: Available athttp://www.aupress.ca/index.php/books/120234 
  • Melrose, S., Dusome, D., Simpson, J., Crocker, C., Athens, E. (2015). Supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities & mental illness: What caregivers need to know. Vancouver, British Columbia: BCcampus. Available at http://opentextbc.ca/caregivers/ 
She expressed interest in working on a foundations level open text, I would love to connect you and/or David with her if something moves forward.

We’ve had some discussions about this with Rebus and OpenStax, looking at a health vertical and being very explicit about how it could work on national/regional certification basis.  Had the conversation with David Harris (OpenStax) last April at Hewlett Foundation meeting.  I think it could be a biggie for all of us.

Early planning, but definitely being discussed. We’d love to do it as a collective effort.

A nursing instructor here just told me that they’ve heard rumours that the textbook they’ve been using for several courses may no longer have a Canadian edition (https://www.amazon.ca/Canadian-Fundamentals-Nursing-Patricia-Potter/dp/1926648536), which will mean them having to begrudgingly switch to a Pearson text. She said it would be great if there was an open textbook instead. Does anyone know of something existing or in the works?

Thank you.
