As this year's recipient of the Excellence in Research Award I
would like to express my sincere appreciation for the nomination. I have
been very fortunate to have spent the majority of my nursing career
practising in the area of nephrology within the Southern Alberta Renal
Program in Calgary, Alberta. I received my CNA certification in
nephrology in 2006, and take satisfaction in being one of 1,168 nurses
in Canada with this designation. Over the past nine years I have held
the position of Clinical Research Coordinator in nephrology. Being
involved as a nephrology nurse assisting in the coordinatio of
nephrology-based research leading to evidence-based practice to improve
the lives of the patients in our care has been both an exciting and an
ongoing learning experience. In 2009, I obtained my designation as a
Certified Clinical Research Professional (CCRP) and I am also currently
enrolled in university and continuing to work towards my undergraduate
degree. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In helping to support patients and families affected by kidney disease, I am proud to say that I have participated in the 2010 and 2011 Kidney March, organized by the Southern Alberta Branch of the Kidney Foundation. I cannot begin to describe the personal satisfaction I have experienced being a part of the Kidney March family and I am proud to say that our team raised the most funds to support research, as well as families and patients living with kidney disease. I have been a member of CANNT for many years and have always been impressed with their mission to provide leadership and promote the best nephrology care and practice through education, research and communication. I was honoured to be a co-chair of last year's annual CANNT conference in Calgary, Alberta. This experience gave me insight into our CANNT organization and the commitment of our board members and, with much gratitude, I thank them for this award.
