Hi everyone,
On a related note, one of our faculty members in nursing is currently
creating a new open textbook in nursing and leadership for a third-year
nursing course offered at the U of R, U of S and SaskPoly. Her
department has been very supportive of the project and the textbook is
currently in the peer review process. We plan to publish it in
Pressbooks in the spring of 2018. We have had a lot of support from our
nursing faculty and I will let them know that there could be an
opportunity to participate in a fundamental textbook. I've just been
looking at the cost of textbooks in the nursing program and they're
outrageously expensive.

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 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:

teaching in the health professions. Available at

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 verticalnational/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/1926…)
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.
