Expanded role nurses (ERNs) were first introduced in Halifax in 1993. The Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre later considered establishing an ERN position within its Geriatrics Department.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Administration

Background:

  • The expanded role nurse (ERN) concept was first implemented in Halifax in 1993 at Victoria General Hospital's cardiology program.
  • Subsequent hospital mergers led to the formation of the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre (QEII), a large, multi-site facility.
  • The Geriatrics Department within QEII, known as the Centre for Health Care of the Elderly (CHCE), began exploring the potential for an ERN position.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the historical context and initial considerations for establishing an expanded role nurse position in geriatrics.
  • To understand the factors influencing the adoption of advanced nursing roles in a newly merged healthcare setting.

Main Methods:

  • This is a descriptive account based on the historical establishment of nursing roles.

  • Review of administrative and departmental initiatives within the QEII Health Sciences Centre.

    • Main Results:

    • An ERN position was successfully established in cardiology in 1993.
    • Administrative and medical leadership in the QEII's Geriatrics Department actively considered the implementation of an ERN role.

    Conclusions:

    • The introduction of ERNs in Halifax began in the mid-1990s.
    • The development of specialized nursing roles, such as ERNs, was a consideration in the evolving structure of the QEII Health Sciences Centre.
