Moving Beyond Borders est le premier livre sur l’histoire des travailleuses de la santé noires au Canada. Se penchant sur l’expérience de 35 infirmières de l’après-guerre nées au Canada ou immigrées des Antilles directement ou en passant par la Grande-Bretagne, Karen Flynn retrace le parcours de ces femmesdepuis l’enfance et décrit le rôle qu’elles ont joué comme professionnelles et activistes communautaires.
L’auteure puise à même la tradition orale et les sources d’archives pour montrer comment la vie de ces femmes a été façonnée par leur expérience d’immigration, leur formation professionnelle et leur vie familiale. Des analyses théoriques fondées sur les études des Noirs dans un contexte postcolonial, genré et diasporique font ressortir les subjectivités multiples à l’œuvre dans la viede ces femmes. En présentant une biographie collective qui explique la formationd’une identité, Moving Beyond Borders révèle l’extraordinaire complexité de l’histoire des femmes noires.

After more than twenty years of national leadership in supporting nursing students and newly graduated nurses through professional role transition, Nursing the Future (NTF) is concluding its current operational chapter.
Since 2004, NTF has served as a vital bridge for new nurses, educators, and leaders navigating the vulnerable early months of practice. Through evidence-based programming, national partnerships, and a commitment to building a safe “cul-de-sac” for early-career nurses, NTF has supported thousands across Canada in cultivating connection, confidence, and professional identity.
We extend deep gratitude to our partners, including the Canadian Nurses Foundation, the Canadian Nurses Association, the Canadian Nursing Students Association, provincial ministries, healthcare institutions, and countless contributors whose belief in transition-to-practice support made this work possible.
While formal operations conclude, the scholarship, curriculum, intellectual property, and program infrastructure developed over two decades remain intact and available for strategic partnership and collaboration. For further dialogue on potential collaborations, please contact Dr. Duchscher directly: newgraduates@nursingthefuture.ca
We welcome conversations with ministries, health regions, academic institutions, and professional associations interested in advancing initiatives such as:
The mission of healthy and supported professional role transition remains urgent. The work continues, sustained through scholarship, partnership, and shared commitment to the future of Canadian nursing.
With enduring gratitude,
Dr. Judy Duchscher - Founder & CEO, Nursing the Future
Kathryn Corneau - Program Director, Nursing the Future
