Dear Nursing Students,
First, welcome all to the Ingram School of Nursing. My name is Audrey Michaud and
I am your Vice President Internal. Throughout the year, I will be sending you all biweekly newsletter to keep you informed of everything that is going on in the School
of Nursing.
This first newsletter marks the beginning of fall, the end of the first month of school
and the beginning of the exam season. I would like to wish you the best of luck in all
the projects, exam and activities you wish to accomplish throughout the semester.
University can be challenging but we can all make it.
You know you love me,
XOXO Gossip Nurse

Senator Corner
Hi!
My name
is Natalie
Hiles, and
I am the
Nursing Games Call for Volunteers
Hello fellow nurses!
I am the
Nursing
Senator.
Welcome
to my little
corner!
Hi Nursing Students,
My name is Natalie Hiles and I
am the Nursing Senator for the
2014-2015 academic school
year. I attend weekly senate
caucus meetings and University
Senate meetings monthly. For
those who are not so familiar
with Senate Caucus and McGill
Senate, fear no more! Valerie De
Broux, our awesome NUS
BSc(N) VP academic and I have
a quick Q & A for all you
inquisitive nursing students
about senate.
Val: So Natalie, What is Senate
Caucus?
Natalie: Senate Caucus is where
all the student senators meet on
Monday nights to discuss
student concerns and write
policies as a group.
Val: What is McGill Senate?
Natalie: Senate embodies the
McGill population as a
whole. McGill Senate handles
the policies and guidelines that
manage all academic matters at
McGill. McGill Senate is
comprised of professors,
students, senators, and
administrators. This is where
students have the most political
influence, so let your Student
Senator (ME) know what
matters to you! To learn more
about Senate and its
committees, check out
http://ssmu.mcgill.ca/senators/
All nursing students are
encouraged to attend as
audience members at senate.
Audience members cannot
speak on the floor of Senate, but
your presence is an important
way to remind Senators that
they must represent the needs
of the greater McGill
community. You can check out
Senate meetings in Leacock 232
Do you have a competitive edge? Do you go through
Frosh withdrawal when the winter blues set in? Well,
we've got great news for you! McGill is proud to be
hosting the 2015 Quebec Nursing Games and the
organizing committee is looking for volunteers to help
run the event.
What: We need delegation leaders, referees for the
various sports, OSCE situation leaders, and general
volunteers
When: Jan 23rd-25th, 2015
How: email Melisa Gudzio at
volunteers.jiiq2015@gmail.com
Health Challenge
at 14:30, one Wednesday a
month.
Part of my job is to advance the
diverse needs of the nursing
students here at McGill. I am
here to help all Nursing
students in social, cultural, and
personal opportunities as well
to aid in improving the access to
our professors. I am here to aid
in the assistance of any issue or
concern with matters dealing
with McGill and with the
Ingram School of Nursing.
The student senators are
working on creating two new
policies for McGill University. I
would like to hear from the
Nursing students on what your
thoughts and/or experiences are
with the below two matters so I
can better shape the policy for
the Ingram School of Nursing.
Please let me know what your
thoughts and view are on the
below topics:
1. Mental Health Access
You can find the current
policy on Mental health
here
2. Sexual Assault Policy
You can find the current
policy on sexual assault
here
You can read more about SSMU
and about the other senators
from this link
I can be contacted at
nursingsenator@ssmu.mcgill.ca
Please contact me with any
questions.

Health Challenge
Hello beautiful nurses!!!
Your Athletic Rep is bringing you our first McGill
NUS Health Challenge!!! It’s starting on Monday,
September 22 and will last until November 30! You
just have to go on http://www.defi-sante.net/?
lang=eng, create your account under McGill NUS and
create or join a team.
What is the health challenge?
It is a 10 weeklong challenge between BScN U0, U1,
U2, U3, BNI U2 and U3. It is designed to help us do
more physical activity and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
How can I register?
You register on the website (http://www.defisante.net/?lang=eng) and you create or join a team
of 1 to 5 participants. You have to register the team
in its current year of study (BScN U0, U1, U2, U3, BNI
U2, U3).
How does it work?
You enter your daily/weekly physical activity in your
account, and then your activity is converted to a
number of health-kilometers, which are added to the
total number of health-kilometers of your team and
your year of study.
How are the health kilometers calculated?
The amount of health-kilometers that an activity gives
you corresponds to the amount of energy spent doing
an activity. This calculation is based on 3 variables:
the type of activity, the duration and the intensity. The
intensity variable is dependent of your health
condition.
You can also get health-kilometers by following your
health objectives (ex: eat at least 5 vegetables and
fruits a day; sleep at least 7h per night etc...).
What happens at the end of the challenge?
At the end of the challenge (10 weeks), the year of
study that cumulated the more health-kilometers is
declared the winner of this semester health challenge;
declared the winner of this semester health challenge;
and the first 3 teams that cumulated the more
health-kilometers will win awesome prices!!! (gift
cards, gym pass, free fitness class etc...)
If you have any question regarding the health
challenge, feel free to contact me
at camille.garillot@mail.mcgill.ca.
