Models

Hi,

Please can anyone tell me what nursing models are used in Canada?

For example, a nursing model used in the hospital i work in in the Uk uses the Roper, Logan and Tierney model.

Thank You

I've never heard of a Canadian hospital having a specific nursing model they follow. The nursing school I attended which was a hospital-based program used the Hendeson model, but the hospital itself didn't seem to call what they do anything specific. Neither have the other four I've worked in since I graduated...

Thank you for your reply

I will be working in an orthopaedic ward in Toronto for a month.

Can anyone give me any tips or how the canadian health system differs from the UK system?

If anyone could give me links on canadian nursing, that would be great.

Thank You

Try searching this forum. There are threads about Canadian nursing. Having never nursed in the UK it is hard to tell what the differences would be. If you have speciific questions you could post them. Good luck and Welcome to Canada.

I have heard of hospitals down here in Southern Ontario making the move to following a specific nursing model, and some already have.

I know Ross Memorial in Lindsay definitely does, but i can't remember which one it was.

Im just a nursing student. Maybe a nurse that works in Southern Ontario would throw some light

I can honestly say that if we follow a "model" somebody forgot to tell us.

We've just got that much to do, that we blunder through the day hoping to give the best patient care that we can and survive the shift without having to call security on the families.

Thanks for the replies.

I am a nursing student myself taking a four week international placement in a hospital in Toronto.

I thought everyone had some model to follow but thats interesting..

Some programs use the "Newman Systems Model" .
