How Do Nurses Learn How to Provide Care to Drug Users?

CHMP is grateful for all the feedback to last week’s events when CHMP Visiting Scholars, Fiona Gold and Juanita Maginley, the Street Nurses, were in NYC from Vancouver, BC.  Alison Bulman, senior editorial coordinator at the American Journal of Nursing, writes about her reaction to learning about their work and watching the documentary film,  Bevel UP directed by the noted filmmaker Nettie Wild and co-produced by the National Film Board of Canada and the BCCDC outreach nurses themselves. Read her post “Harm Reduction or Stigmatization: What’s Your Approach to Drug Addicted Patients?” in Off The Charts, the award-winning blog of the American Journal of Nursing (AJN).
