That internal drive is what fueled her desire to become a Nurse Practitioner, and what inspires her daily as a respected leader at West Bedford Transitional Health.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Alison approaches her one-year anniversary with the Shannex team, we had the opportunity to sit down and hear about her journey in this innovative model of care.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Early Inspiration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alison\u2019s strength of character is deeply rooted in Spryfield, a community located just outside the Halifax peninsula. Like Alison, her neighbourhood is vibrant and home to residents who step up to help one another. \u201cI always wanted to do a degree, but didn\u2019t pursue it until later in life,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ve always been the type of person to do things on a whim, so when I made the decision\u2014I was all in.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During her undergraduate studies, Alison also took on a role at the IWK Health Centre\u2014a move she credits to her sister who also worked there, thus beginning her healthcare journey. As a unit aide and clerk, Alison made an impression on the nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). \u201cA few special nurses encouraged me to go to nursing school,\u201d she says. \u201cI suppose the rest is history.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learning from the Classroom to the Front Line (and back again)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With resilience and determination, Alison completed not one but two degrees from Dalhousie University. First, a Bachelor of Science with a double major in biology and psychology, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree with distinction in 2016 as part of the accelerated nursing program. She then quickly entered an acute care environment, working in a local hospital as a Registered Nurse (RN).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her eight-year tenure as a floor nurse, then as charge nurse, Alison saw increasing workloads for nurses and doctors being worsened by a shortage of alternate level of care (ALC) placements. \u201cALC patients are often the most complex and need a holistic approach in terms of care planning,\u201d she says. \u201cI saw patients occupying medical beds for long periods\u2014sometimes months or even years\u2014with less-than-optimal exposure to specialty staff based on flow and capacity.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alison\u2019s combined education and experience led to a shift in her personal nursing philosophy. \u201cSchool can never prepare you for what real nursing is all about,\u201d she says. \u201cOnce I had both, I saw a path for myself and the ALC patients who needed dedicated supports.\u201d It was then she decided to pursue a Master\u2019s degree to become a Nurse Practitioner (NP).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On her application, Alison included the following statement: <em>\u201cNurses should have a reciprocal relationship with theory and experience; patients are essential collaborating members of the healthcare team; environment is the greatest determinant of health, and thus should be part of the care plan\u2026\u201d. <\/em>It was as if she was describing the approach and philosophy that\u2019s being brought to life at West Bedford Transitional Health.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Journey to Shannex&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During her Master\u2019s program, as Alison was contemplating what a role would look like if offered within the current hospital environment, construction on the first phase of the new West Bedford Transitional Health facility was nearing completion. And while Alison wasn\u2019t familiar with Shannex, someone in her social network shared a job posting that looked exactly like the role Alison had envisioned for years.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admittedly, leaving her role in a hospital environment with colleagues and a community she loved was a big decision, but her passion for this patient population and the opportunity to (<em>quite literally!<\/em>) get in on the ground floor of building a new team service delivery model made the choice clear, \u201cI had built my entire Master\u2019s degree around this specialized model of patient care, so it was a move I was excited to make.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a trusted partner of Nova Scotia Health and service provider at West Bedford Transitional Health, Shannex welcomed Alison and dozens of clinical, allied health, administrative and support services professionals in the Fall of 2024. Since that time, the team has served hundreds of Central Zone patients who are discharged from an hospital environment when they no longer require acute care, but are not quite ready to return home. With transitional care services provided by Shannex team members, and wraparound at-home supports provided by the team at Nova Scotia Health, patients are receiving the support they need in an environment where they can thrive.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Measuring Impact and Responsibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Nurse Practitioner who is also the MRP (Most Responsible Practitioner) for her assigned floors, Alison has a substantial impact on patient outcomes and is responsible for directing and coordinating their care. When asked about how she feels about her role and impact, she takes a humble stance, crediting patients for being an essential determinant of their success. \u201cHere, patients are not passive recipients of care and services, but are essential collaborators in their care plan, health journey and chance at returning home,\u201d she says. \u201cI hold a lot of responsibility but it\u2019s one I take pride in for the patients; it\u2019s the role I always wanted.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important part of Alison\u2019s daily impact is the one she has on her team, working alongside a care team comprised of Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Continuing Care Assistants (who are called Transitional Care Assistants or TCAs), Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and other allied health professionals.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe team is great here,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s research and evidence-based, and leadership encourages innovation and a focus on problem-solving while giving us the autonomy to try new things.\u201d Alison suggests this level of responsibility and autonomy can be as sobering as it is fulfilling, knowing patient lives long after their stay will be impacted the team\u2019s actions. \u201c&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Day in the Life&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to an acute environment, patients who are admitted to West Bedford Transitional Health can expect a short-term stay\u2014typically 4-12 weeks in length. With an evolving patient population, every new admission presents unique and sometimes complex care plan requirements while ensuring consistent touchpoints with the patients who are working toward being discharged.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach day involves rounds, connecting with patients to get a pulse on how they\u2019re doing,\u201d she says. \u201cYou deal with primary care, acute care and transitional health needs\u2014it\u2019s a very balanced learning environment with variety and an opportunity to think outside the box.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alison notes one of her biggest questions when considering the role at West Bedford Transitional Health was understanding the difference between working in transitional health versus a hospital. \u201cThe best way I can describe it is that it\u2019s a hybrid environment; we do everything from admitting and discharges to in-patient, primary healthcare, care plan development, collaborating with specialists in other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nshealth.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NSH facilities and more<\/a>,\u201d she says. \u201cLast week I collaborated with cardiology, nephrology and urology for three different patients\u2014consulting on patient outcomes is a rewarding part of the role, and we\u2019re working with the acute system even though we\u2019re at arms length.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reflections on Year One<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about what advice she\u2019d offer to another NP considering a career in transitional health, Alison encourages clinical and allied health professionals to consider the long term impact of this model of care, and the collective impact they can have on improving patient flow and the system at large: \u201cWe have an opportunity to work together and respond to the changing demands of our system, serving different populations while maturing as a model of care,\u201d she says. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see how this evolves over the next five to 10 years.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Alongside a team of Great People at West Bedford Transitional Health, Alison is leading the way to better living.
