Calling All Nurses
As newly retired nurses, we continue our passion for helping the public understand the scope, challenges, and rewards of contemporary nursing practice, using the lived experiences of point of care nurses. In Season 1 we spoke with nurses making change with challenges of social concern, such as Indigenous health, the toxic drug poisoning crisis, planetary health, public health and the pandemic, and challenges in acute care.
In Season 2, we are speaking with nurses in positions of influence provincially, in B.C., nationally, in Canada, and internationally. Season 2 is available now!

Calling All Nurses - S3, Episode 1 - Celise Hack: Creating Health in Collaboration with Rural Saskatchewan Communities
Welcome to Season 3 of Calling All Nurses! We are excited to present episodes this season that draw a picture of collaboration between nursing practice, nursing education, nursing research, and communities to improve the health and wellbeing of both populations and the lives of nurses.
Listen as our first guest, Celise Hack, shares how collaboration with communities in her region of rural nursing practice worked to increase access to health care information, supports, and services. The Community Well, a volunteer group in Foam Lake, Saskatchewan came together with the goal of addressing post-pandemic health concerns and impact at a grass roots level, particularly with older adults. Linking older adults to programs and services to bridge gaps while evaluating current regional infrastructure was a goal to help older adults age in place, decreasing social isolation, and improving general health and well-being.
Celise Hack is a wife, a proud mom of two young hockey-loving boys, and a registered nurse with 12 years of experience across internal medicine, long-term care, home care, and primary care. Passionate about building healthier communities, Celise founded The Community Well, a nonprofit organization she leads alongside an amazing team of volunteers to support wellness initiatives in her area.
