Bonjour, 
Mon nom est Robyn Power et je suis la directrice r�gionale de l'Atlantique 2009-2010 pour l'Association des �tudiant(e)s infirmier(�re)s du Canada (AEIC). Je compl�te tout juste ma deuxi�me ann�e de baccalaur�at en sciences infirmi�res au Centre for Nursing Studies-Memorial University � St-John's, Terre-Neuve.
 
Je suis vraiment honor�e de repr�senter une r�gion si diversifi�e. Il y a actuellement onze �coles membres de la r�gion de l'Atlantique r�parties sur cinq provinces. Nous repr�sentons les �tudiant(e)s infirmier(�re)s de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador, de l'�le du Prince-�douard, de la Nouvelle-�cosse, du Nouveau-Brunswick et du Nunavut. Nous avons r�cemment accueilli dans nos rangs l'universit� de Moncton, premi�re �cole francophone de la r�gion de l'Atlantique et repr�sentant aussi deux �coles d'infirmi�res auxiliaires.
 
            Les d�buts de mon exp�rience de directrice r�gionale de l'Atlantique furent une exp�rience �tourdissante. Je suis en poste depuis le 1er avril 2009. Jusqu'� maintenant, j'ai eu l'opportunit� de voyager � Moncton et d'assister � la conf�rence nationale de l'Association canadienne des �coles de sciences infirmi�res (AC�SI) qui avait pour th�me : L'interrelation de la th�orie, de la recherche et de la pratique: une approche syst�mique en science infirmi�re. Il a �t� b�n�fique d'entendre des infirmi�res pr�senter leurs recherches et d'�tre capable de les relier � la r�gion de l'Atlantique. Tant que je serai en poste, je planifie de travailler plus �troitement avec les �coles d'infirmi�res auxiliaires afin de renforcer la voix des �tudiant(e)s infirmier(�re)s � travers le Canada, tout comme dans la r�gion de l'Atlantique. Tant qu'il y aura des opportunit�s, je travaillerai avec nos multiples associations professionnelles pour r�soudre les probl�mes qui se pr�sentent et je vais continuer d'entretenir une relation de travail positive avec les parties prenantes.
 
Je suis fi�re de vous annoncer que le congr�s r�gional 2009 de l'Atlantique sera tenu � l'universit� de Dalhousie � Halifax, Nouvelle-�cosse,  les 23 et 24 octobre prochains. Notre congr�s se concentrera sur le fait de faire le pont entre �tre un(e) �tudiant(e) infirmier(�re) et devenir un(e) professionnel(le) infirmier(�re).
 
Merci de m'avoir permis de me pr�senter ainsi que la r�gion de l'Atlantique. J'esp�re pouvoir rencontrer et travailler avec plusieurs d'entre vous dans un futur rapproch�.

On behalf of the Principal of Queen's University I am pleased to announce that Dr. Medves has been appointed Associate Dean (Health Sciences) and Director of the School of Nursing for an initial term from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2014.

Having trained as a midwife and registered nurse in the United Kingdom, Dr. Medves obtained her PhD from the University of Alberta in 2000 and joined the School of Nursing at Queen's University as an Assistant Professor. She was granted Tenure and promoted to Associate Professor in 2006. Dr. Medves also holds cross-appointments in the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology and the School of Rehabilitation Therapy.

Recognized for her administrative leadership, Dr. Medves participates actively on committees at the University, local, provincial and national levels. She is the Director of the Practice and Research in Nursing Group at Queen's University, a Deputy Director of the Queen's Joanna Briggs Collaboration, Chair of the University Senate Budget Review Committee, and Inaugural President of the Canadian Association of Nurses for Women and Newborns. As a member of the HealthForceOntario Blueprint Implementation Steering Committee, she has been recognized provincially for her expertise in interprofessional education.

As a career scientist, Dr. Medves held an Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term-Care Career Scientist Award from 2002 to 2007 in support of her work in rural maternity nursing. She has received funding as both a Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator from a variety of sources including the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, Health Canada, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Her recent publications include collaboration in teams to reduce the effects of pandemic influenza, evidence for practice in maternity care, and rural collaborative practice to sustain maternity practice.

Dr. Medves's teaching areas are maternal child health, philosophy of nursing science, and research methods. She has developed courses and taught in both the undergraduate and graduate programs and she has been the recipient of three teaching awards since coming to Queen's.
