Current project: Pandemic experiences of ethical and moral dilemma and distress for frontline law enforcement, nurse, and paramedic personnel
Saskatchewan Polytechnic students have been analyzing data for a series of ten ethical dilemmas affecting decision-making during a pandemic. The Applied Research Showcase on May 4th, 2021 will be the first look at their analyses of separate professions. The team will continue the work through the summer, comparing interprofessional uniqueness in pandemic responses.

I am in the second semester of the Practical Nursing program. I feel like research encourages independence and active learning. I would like to learn more and add on to rural nursing in the future. This project helped me learnt the extent of personal sacrifices that paramedics had to make in order to serve the population. Very grateful for their service!
