20th Anniversary of the Family Nursing Unit

In June 2002, 20 years of exciting developments within the Family Nursing Unit (FNU) were acknowledged and celebrated! The FNU has been a place of unique learning opportunities for graduate students within the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada and has received international recognition for outstanding clinical scholarship in family nursing (Wright, Watson, & Bell, 1990; Wright, Watson, & Duhamel, 1985). The story of the FNU began in 1980 when Lorraine M. Wright, R.N., Ph.D., was recruited to the Faculty of Nursing from the Faculty of Medicine at a time when the master of nursing program at the University of Calgary was just being developed with a focus on advanced practice in nursing. Upon her arrival in the Faculty of Nursing, Dr. Wright had a vision for creating a unique faculty practice unit where students could observe expert clinical practice of faculty and offer nursing practice to families experiencing illness while receiving live supervision from faculty with participation from a clinical team who observed the practice from behind a one-way mirror. In addition to live supervision and the involvement of a clinical team, the learning model Dr. Wright envisioned was one in which each therapeutic conversation between the nurse and the family would be videotaped, thus bringing the nursing practice with families from behind closed doors and available for examination, discussion, and reflection. The first therapeutic conversation with a family was conducted on January 23, 1982 by Glenda Labelle, with Dr. Wright providing live supervision and working with a clinical team of graduate students who were Glenda’s classmates. From the beginning, the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Calgary has generously and consistently provided well-designed space and state-of-the-art technology to help the dream for this unique learning facility to be realized.
