About Cameron Albright

Hello, Bonjour!I am a registered nurse/nursologist (RN) residing and practicing in Nova Scotia, Canada. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) at Dalhousie University and graduated in 2018. Since that time, I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including acute medical and surgical, progressive (intermediate care), community, and hospice care. Early in my undergraduate studies, I saw the significance of nursology discipline-specific knowledge, and I was fortunate to attend a university where all knowledge and clinical reasoning was filtered through a nursing lens. Since then, the classic works of renowned theorists from Watson, Rogers, and Parse have inspired my practice, and I have spent a considerable amount of time throughout my MN studying these concepts in detail. I am eternally grateful to the brilliant intellectuals who have devoted their careers to advancing this corpus of knowledge for the welfare of humanity.Direct patient care is where my heart and soul as a nurse will always rest. I currently work in direct care at our local hospital and maintaining a position in clinical practice will be of considerable importance in my career alongside work in academia. My passion for research and nursology/nursing discipline-specific knowledge directly extends from experiencing first-hand the therapeutic benefit of practicing within various conceptual and theoretical foundations of the discipline. This lead me, in 2019, to begin my Master of Nursing (MN) degree with Athabasca University. In 2020, I obtained CNA (Canadian Nurses Association) certification in Medical-Surgical Nursing (CMSN(C)). I have also served on our local Clinical Ethics Consult Team, undertook contractual positions as a research and teaching assistant with Dalhousie University, and as guest lecturer for undergraduate nursing students on nursing theory, professional transformation, and ethical/legal issues in nursing.
