EDUCATION IS MORE THAN THE

ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE

12

ACC’S CONTINUING STUDIES • WINTER 2017

by Surien Fourie

“Education to me is more than the acquisition of knowledge,” says Bruce Palmer, Anatomy and Physiology instructor at Assiniboine Community College, “it involves critical thinking and the application of theories learned.”

Bruce has been teaching Anatomy and Physiology for over thirty years at ACC. He still enjoys teaching it after all these years. “There is still lots to learn,” according to Bruce.

Over the years, he has taught a number of courses at ACC but one dear to his heart is Anatomy & Physiology (A & P) I and II. Bruce is excited to work and share his knowledge with others. “I love the sense of discovery in the classroom,” said Bruce.

“There are a number of ‘aha’ moments, which makes the material worthwhile.”

He teaches foundational courses that prepare nurses, university students, medical technicians and even body builders for further education or qualification. His students are not limited by occupation. Bruce teaches A & P on campus throughout the year.

He finds it invigorating to hear grads say, “I use the concepts I learned in your class on a daily basis,” said Bruce. His courses are highly applicable and foundational for a variety of careers, which is evident by the comments received by Practical Nursing graduates from the college.

“I LOVE THE SENSE OF DISCOVERY IN THE CLASSROOM”

Bruce Palmer

ACC’S CONTINUING STUDIES • WINTER 2017

He loves to use humour as a vehicle to make his material and situations memorable for students. “They will remember the incident where I was funny, and tie it into whatever they were learning at that moment,” said Bruce. “I play off of them and they play off my comments.”

Bruce’s philosophy for teaching extrapolates that the best candidates for teaching are those who have interests outside of the classroom and Bruce is no exception to this. Bruce has been a political cartoonist for the Brandon Sun on and off for the past twenty five years. He is also an avid

wood carver in his spare time, mostly creating artwork of birds.

He emphasizes that his courses are not just for nursing students. “Some people take A & P because they are really interested in the subject area or like to keep their brain functioning at a certain level, especially if they were trained overseas and cannot be certified to work in their elected field,” said Bruce.

His classroom antics makes Bruce a beloved instructor at ACC.

ACC’S CONTINUING STUDIES • WINTER 2017

A new face is joining the Parkland Continuing Studies team this winter.

Desiree Rantala has a background in interior design and architecture.

She graduated from the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Architecture, where she gained a variety of design based skills.

“I’ve always had a strong interest in creativity throughout my childhood but I never knew what I would end up doing with it or how it would be applied to my future,” said Desiree. “Little did I know I would end up immersing myself entirely in this field. Never had I thought to pursue design academically, as I figured that this was something that came naturally.”

Desiree will be teaching in two areas at the college’s Parkland Campus. The Mature Student High Program and the Centre of Continuing Studies.

With Continuing Studies, she hopes to offer a variety of workshops on the topics of design, and professional and personal development. Some titles include: How to Stress Less, Problem Solving, and Speaking with Confidence. “All essential tools to succeed professionally and personally,” said Desiree.

She plans to host a workshop titled Ask a Designer where the public will have the opportunity to have a private Q & A with her.

Education is an ingrained part of her life.

“The world of education is a network, a network of communication, innovation, and collaboration,” said Desiree. “We listen, learn, live, and share information which enhances and challenges our curiosity for knowledge.”

“I AM A HUGE BELIEVER IN ALWAYS SAY ‘YES’ TO OPPORTUNITY”

Desiree Rantala

She’s excited to share what she’s learned with others. “Through positive and negative experiences of my own, I want to improve the student learning practice to ensure a safe, enriched, and explorative environment for everyone,” said Desiree. She is looking forward to meeting new people and seeing new faces.

Desiree looks forward to becoming more involved in the Parkland region.

She recently opened a design studio in Dauphin, which specializes in residential and commercial interior design, graphic design, advertising, and commercial photography. “Naltara Design Studio is a one-stop shop for design where everything comes together,” said Desiree.

“I am a huge believer in always saying ‘yes’ to opportunity, and I believe that is how I have gotten to where I am today.”

PRACTICAL NURSING REFRESHER WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT The Practical Nursing Refresher (PNR) program is designed for individuals who intend to re-enter the practical nursing profession and must meet the requirements for registration through the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Manitoba (CLPNM).

This program focuses on caring. Applicants should enjoy caring for people and be willing to work with a team of health care providers. Those working in this field should be prepared to work varied shifts, including weekends. In addition, the PNR program synthesizes theoretical study and clinical practice to facilitate successful re-entry into professional nursing practice. Theoretical study will take place at home and clinical practice will occur in a clinical facility in the student’s region, if possible.

If you have been advised by CLPNM to take a refresher program, then we can help you re-enter the nursing profession with confidence.

This program was developed jointly by the Open Learning Agency for the British Columbia Ministry of Education, CLPNM and Assiniboine Community College.

These post grad courses provide LPN’s the opportunity to upgrade in one or more areas.

Students must have proof of active registration.

NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO STATISTICS CANADA

Statistics Canada is the national statistical agency. As such, Statistics Canada carries out hundreds of surveys each year on a wide range of matters, including education. It is essential to follow students across time and institutions to understand, for example, the factors affecting enrolment demand at post-secondary institutions. The increased emphasis on accountability for public investment means that it is also important to understand ‘outcomes’. In order to carry out such studies, Statistics Canada asks all colleges and universities to provide data on students and graduates. Institutions collect and provide to Statistics Canada student identification information (student’s name, student ID number, Social Insurance Number), student contact information (address and telephone number), student demographic characteristics, enrolment information, previous education and labour force activity. Under the Federal Privacy Act, individuals can request access to their own, individual information held in federal information banks, including those held by Statistics Canada. The Federal Statistics Act provides the legal authority for Statistics Canada to obtain access to personal information held by educational institutions. The information may be used only for statistical purposes, and the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act prevent the information from being released in any way that would identify the student. Students who do not wish to have their information used are able to ask Statistics Canada to remove their identifying information from the national database. Further information on the use of this information can be obtained from Statistics Canada’s web site: www.statscan.ca or by writing to the Post-Secondary Section, Centre for Education Statistics, 17th Floor, R.H. Coats Building, Tunney’s Pasture, Ottawa, Canada, K1A 0T6.
