Summary
Details

Canada is facing a healthcare crisis-and at the heart of it lies a critical shortage of nurses. Healing Canadian Healthcare is a timely and urgent call to action written by veteran ICU nurse Kathleen Boucher, who draws on nearly 50 years of frontline experience to explore practical solutions for boosting enrolment in nursing programs and improving long-term retention.

In clear, compassionate, and experience-driven prose, Boucher walks readers through what nurses actually do-from emergency rooms to school clinics to mental health units-while highlighting the many career pathways available in the profession. She also shares real-world challenges nurses face, including burnout, floating, moral distress, and public misunderstanding, alongside innovative ideas to address these systemic issues.

More than a policy critique, this book is a blueprint for change. With chapters dedicated to mentorship, self-care, education pathways, and public involvement, Healing Canadian Healthcare empowers not only future nurses but also everyday citizens, educators, and policymakers to take part in building a healthier, more sustainable healthcare system.

Whether you're a student considering nursing, a healthcare advocate, or someone who simply wants to make a difference, this book will inspire you to become part of the solution.
