Shannon McGee

Shannon McGee is a master lecturer at the School of Nursing. She received her first nursing degree from Laurentian University. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2009, she worked as a registered nurse at St-Joseph’s Hospital in Sudbury where she obtained her clinical experience in orthopedic surgical care. She continued gaining clinical expertise at Health Sciences North on the neurosurgery and orthopedic units. She then accepted a clinical teaching contract at the School of Nursing, Laurentian University where she discovered her passion for teaching. This led to more than 10 years teaching for the School of Nursing, specifically as a Skills Laboratory technician as well as a lecturer for various courses (physical assessment, mental health, aging population, NCLEX-RN prep course, etc.). Shannon has a particular passion for simulation-based teaching and mastered her simulation education skills while working at the Health Sciences North Simulation laboratory. She then pursued her education and received a Master of Science in Nursing from Laurentian University and gained more clinical experience while working at Health Sciences North in the Occupational Health & Safety Department. She was then offered a full-time master lecturer position in the undergraduate nursing program at the School of Nursing, Laurentian University where she continues to guide future nurses.  

Shannon McGee has two main research interests. Her primary research interest is the impact of the NCLEX-RN examination on French nursing graduates. She is also interested in career plans of nursing graduates, educational and health issues involving Francophone populations of all ages living in Northern and Rural communities. Her research spans different clinical domains and uses a variety of research qualitative methods.
