Julie Tipping and Jon Neufeld have earned the right to add more initials to their signature line as our newest Canadian Certified Simulation Nurse Educators (CCSNE).
September 29, 2023
In September 2023, Julie Tipping, Lecturer and Jonathan Neufeld, Clinical Associate, earned the Canadian Certified Simulation Nurse Educators (CCSNE) designation. They join a group of just a little over 100 Simulation Nurse Educators who hold the CCSNE designation across Canada, and they are the fourth and fifth CCSNE at the School of Nursing.
The Canadian Nurse Educators Institute (CNEI) states:
Certification for the nurse educator working in simulation represents a national mark of excellence in the field of teaching and learning related to simulation theory, design, practice, and scholarship. It communicates to academic institutions, faculty, students, and the community that the educator has achieved and maintains a high academic standard in this area of nursing practice.
The primary goal of the CCSNE certification is to promote high-quality nursing education in Canada by fostering excellence among nurse educators using simulation in their teaching.
The staff and faculty at the School of Nursing warmly congratulate Julie and Jon. In addition, we extend our gratitude to Kymberley Bontinen, who successfully assisted our new CCSNEs in preparing for the exam.
