iNNovaTioN iN NUrsiNg LEadErshiP 51 Nursing Residency Program introduction The shortage of nurses has been one of the main issues in Canadian healthcare organizations over the last decade and will probably continue to be a concern, given that a lack of 60,000 full-time equivalent nurses is expected in the country by 2022 (CNA 2009). Specialized environments, such as critical care units, have been greatly affected owing to the considerable increasing demands for their services over a short period of time (more than 80% over 20 years) (Sibbald et al. 2007). This reality has led many organizations to turn their attention towards newly graduated nurses to maintain accessibility to critical care. However, the integration of inexperienced nurses into this high-acuity setting has created a new challenge related to the training they require to provide safe-quality care.

In the Nowyak Lake area (western Churchill Province), the Archean Yathkyed and Kaminak Lake greenstone belts have distinct lithological differences: whereas the Yathkyed belt is dominated by mafic flows, the adjacent Kaminak belt consists mainly of volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks and greywackes. Sedimentary rocks of the Paleoproterozoic Hurwitz Group overlie the contact between the two greenstone belts, and preserve two sets of Proterozoic fabrics that can be traced into the underlying Archean basement. The Nowyak Lake shear zone, a shallow north-dipping zone of intense shearing and retrograde metamorphism, deforms both the Hurwitz Group and mafic rocks correlated with the Kaminak belt, and is itself deformed into a broad, north-plunging antiform that exposes amphibolite grade Archean gneisses in its core. The timing and kinematics of the Nowyak Lake shear zone are the subject of ongoing study.
