My name is Ashleigh Pugh- Clarke. I am a Registered Nurse with experience in oncology and palliative care. I have been a RN since 2006 working in acute care at Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie, Ontario and Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto. I completed my Master of Nursing degree in 2009 at the University of Toronto with a focus on nursing informatics and education. I have experience teaching nursing in many different environments. I was a clinical instructor and I also taught in the nursing lab in the Collaborative BScN program at Seneca College. I started working at the de Souza Institute in January 2009 and I’m very excited to be on board as an educator and technology coordinator. Recent courses that I have developed for de Souza were Foundations to Oncology Nursing Practice and eHealth Nursing & Oncology. I have a broad range of interests but I LOVE technology so any way that I can incorporate it into my teaching or practice, is exciting to me! I’ve never blogged before, but I’m excited to see how this goes. It is kind of scary to put yourself out there so publicly, but I hope that this will be a way to develop a community among all the current and future de Souza Nurses out there.  Welcome and thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you come back again! :)
