Helping undergraduate students evolve into nursing professionals prepared to meet the demands of their vocation, Fundamentals of Canadian Nursing equips students with a broad and solid foundation. The third Canadian edition addresses the key concepts that nurses must know to practice knowledgeably, accurately, legally, ethically, and with sensitivity and compassion in the dynamic Canadian health care system.

Fundamentals of Canadian Nursing focuses on 3 important tenets: process, such as critical thinking, clinical reasoning, decision making; concepts like health promotion, disease prevention, and caring; and skills, such as health assessment, hygiene, and safety. Additionally, the textbook highlights basic nursing care across the lifespan in a variety of settings.

Written in clear and accessible language, beginning nurses learn about best practices with real-world applications from the experts. Representing a pan-Canadian experience, the lead editors enlisted two authors, each from different provinces to reflect different geographical experiences, for many chapters.

Special features facilitate learning and highlight the 5 major themes that form the framework for this edition—Primary Health Care, Critical Thinking, Clinical Reasoning, Nursing Process, and Lifespan Considerations.

Madeleine Buck is an Assistant Professor and Assistant Director at the McGill University Ingram School of Nursing and a clinical associate at the McGill University Health Centre. Her 35-year career in nursing has provided her with opportunities to work in acute and critical care, community health, and educational settings. She is currently the Program Director of the Bachelor of Science (Nursing) Program at McGill and teaches in the undergraduate and graduate programs, principally in the areas of acute care and illness management. She is active in the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN) – as past Chair of the CASN Accreditation Bureau she now sits as co-chair of the CASN Advisory Committee on Accreditation Policies.  She is involved in international work and leads McGill Nurses for Highlands Hope which works with a group of Tanzanian nurses and peer health educators in dealing with the HIV/AIDS pandemic in the Highlands of Tanzania. With her Nursing students in the McGill Global Health Masters stream, she works to foster collaboration and development of nursing education and practice relationships, including implementing nursing best practices in low resourced settings in Tanzania. As with previous editions, half of her royalties from the publication of this book will go toward supporting sustainable nursing projects originating from the Tanzanian Highlands Hope Nurse network.

Lynnette Leeseberg Stamler began her nursing career with a BSN from St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN.  Her interest in patient teaching began within that program, and inspired her to complete a MEd degree from the University of Manitoba.  Although she has worked in many areas of nursing, she has always gravitated to clinical areas where the relationship with patients and families is essential - such as rehabilitation, long term care, dialysis and VON (visiting nursing).  After teaching in a diploma program at Red River College in Winnipeg, she completed a phD in nursing from the University of Cincinnati, where she was their third graduate.  She has since taught at the University of WIndsor, Nipissing University/Canadore College Collaborative BSN program, and the University of Saskatchewan.  She has been very active in the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN), serving as Treasurer and the first elected President who was not a Dean or Director.  She is also active in Sigma Theta Tau International.  Her research and international work have focused on aspects of education, from patient to health to nursing.  In this spirit she began work on Canadian nursing textbooks, recognizing that this is one way to inflluence the next generation of nurses.  She has served as an accreditation site visitor.  In 2011, her work was recognized when she was inducted as an International Fellow in the American Academy of Nurisng, one of eight Canadian nurses to hold that distinction at that time.  In the fall of 2012, she embarked on a new adventure, moving to South Dakota to take the position of Associate Dean, Graduate Studies, College of Nursing, South Dakota State University.
