href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/nursing\/\"> Myhal School of Nursing<\/a> continue to demonstrate their commitment to research dissemination and nursing education excellence.<\/p>\n<p>This past summer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/nursing\/programs\/bachelor-of-science-nursing\/\">Honours Bachelor of Science in Nursing<\/a> (BScN) Professor and Program Coordinator Dr. Holldrid Odreman and third-year students Christian Baltus and Brayden Robichaud attended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sigmanursing.org\/\">Sigma<\/a>‘s 37<sup>th<\/sup> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sigmanursing.org\/events\/international-nursing-research-congress\">International Nursing Research Congress<\/a> in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>The three-day conference welcomed nursing researchers and healthcare leaders from around the world to share discoveries, exchange ideas, and shape the future of nursing science.<\/p>\n<p>Participating in the conference was an opportunity for the group to highlight NC’s BScN program and the research being conducted by Odreman’s Nursing Scholarship and Education Team (ONSET).<\/p>\n<p>“Being present allowed us to represent the undergraduate nursing student perspective and demonstrate that students at Niagara College are actively involved in research and contributing to the advancement of nursing practice,” said Baltus, who noted that he and Robichaud were among the few undergraduate nursing students at the conference.<\/p>\n<p>“It was also an opportunity to see firsthand the different directions nursing research can take and the impact that research has across education, clinical practice, leadership, and healthcare systems,” he added.<\/p>\n<p>Baltus and fellow ONSET member Ryan McNally, a registered nurse and Master of Nursing graduate student at the University of Toronto, presented a research abstract for the study “Virtual Reality Simulation Prebrief: Promoting Psychological Safety and Clinical Reasoning.”<\/p>\n<p>The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Clinical Simulation in Learning, aimed to determine the extent of differences in the experience of psychological safety and in the performance of clinical judgement across three pre-briefing techniques. The research found that as collaboration and interaction between the learner and educator during a pre-briefing activity increase, the learner’s support for learning and confidence-building also increases.<\/p>\n<p>Presenting at the prestigious conference was a milestone for ONSET and recognition for the team’s ongoing commitment to develop evidence-based research that helps inform teaching practices and curriculum within nursing education.<\/p>\n<p>“Some of the most meaningful work I’ve been involved in has not been producing research itself, but rather watching students become researchers,” said Dr. Odreman. “When nursing students move from simply consuming knowledge to creating, sharing, and contributing to it, something remarkable happens. Their confidence grows, their professional identity strengthens, and they begin to see themselves as leaders in advancing nursing practice.”<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the conference, the team had valuable opportunities to connect and network with students, researchers, healthcare professionals and leaders who are making important contributions across various areas of nursing care.<br \/>\nOne particularly memorable highlight was the chance to meet Canada’s Chief Nursing Officer, Dr. Leigh Chapman. Dr. Chapman is a former colleague of Dr. Odreman from his time working in Hamilton, making the experience especially meaningful for the group.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1701484\" style=\"width: 849px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1701484\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1701484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/BScN_ONSET_SIGMA2026_CanadaCNO.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"839\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/BScN_ONSET_SIGMA2026_CanadaCNO.webp 839w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/BScN_ONSET_SIGMA2026_CanadaCNO-300x197.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/BScN_ONSET_SIGMA2026_CanadaCNO-768x503.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/BScN_ONSET_SIGMA2026_CanadaCNO-800x524.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/BScN_ONSET_SIGMA2026_CanadaCNO-549x360.webp 549w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/BScN_ONSET_SIGMA2026_CanadaCNO-343x225.webp 343w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/BScN_ONSET_SIGMA2026_CanadaCNO-180x118.webp 180w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/BScN_ONSET_SIGMA2026_CanadaCNO-824x540.webp 824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 839px) 100vw, 839px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1701484\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canada’s Chief Nursing Officer Dr. Leigh Cunningham (middle) with members of ONSET<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1701490\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/Inside-NC-SIGMA2026.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"752\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/Inside-NC-SIGMA2026.jpg 752w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/Inside-NC-SIGMA2026-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/Inside-NC-SIGMA2026-476x360.jpg 476w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/Inside-NC-SIGMA2026-128x96.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/Inside-NC-SIGMA2026-297x225.jpg 297w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/Inside-NC-SIGMA2026-178x135.jpg 178w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/11\/Inside-NC-SIGMA2026-714x540.jpg 714w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 752px) 100vw, 752px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>ONSET’s research continues this fall.

Services<\/a> is expanding opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning with three specialized spaces designed to bring classroom concepts to life and help students build practical skills for their future careers.<\/p>\n<p>In Fall 2026, the School of Community Services relocated from the Welland Campus to the Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The move was designed to support the evolving needs of students and the community while creating opportunities for future growth and cross-program collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>“Our goal is to prepare students with the knowledge, practical skills and real-world experience they need to support individuals and families at every stage of life and make a meaningful difference in their communities,” said Jackie Frail, Dean of Community, Justice and Fitness. “The Daniel J. Patterson Campus offers incredible opportunities for our students, and we’re excited about how these new learning environments will enhance their educational experiences.”<\/p>\n<p>The relocation also introduced three new specialized learning environments: an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/communityservices\/program\/ece-early-childhood-education\/\">Early Childhood Education<\/a> (ECE) learning lab, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/communityservices\/program\/social-service-worker\/\">Social Service Worker<\/a> (SSW) taping lab and a multisensory room.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>ECE learnin<\/strong><strong>g lab<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Designed to simulate a real-world early learning environment, the ECE learning lab gives students a place to put theory into practice.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":53,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.niagaracollege.ca\\\/insidenc\\\/2026\\\/11\\\/05\\\/school-of-community-services-introduces-innovative-learning-spaces\\\/\"}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"660\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 655px;
