Biography

Georgina Bagstad has been teaching nursing students in classroom and clinical settings for over 34 years, with 25 of those years at the University of Calgary. Throughout her career, she has primarily focused on Perinatal and Woman's Health care. Georgina has developed a strong passion for simulation as a teaching method, believing it enhances students' critical thinking and reasoning skills. She is interested in integrating selected year undergraduate nursing students with nursing alumni mentors within a nursing education program to promote interaction between current students and alumni. This initiative aims to achieve two goals: first, to develop nursing students and alumni as actors in simulation scenarios that enrich the educational experience by providing higher-level nursing students opportunities to practice communication and assessment skills in preparation for clinical environments; second, to assess the benefits of teaching improvisation skills using nursing alumni mentors with first-year nursing students to enhance their critical thinking and reasoning capabilities, thereby promoting quick thinking in the advancement of nursing education.
