    Study Notes

    History of "Indian Hospitals" in Canada

    • The term "Indian Hospitals" refers to healthcare facilities specifically for Indigenous people in Canada, largely controlled by the "Indian Affairs" department from the 1890s to the 1945.
    • These facilities were often overcrowded, understaffed, and underfunded.
    • Many were housed in repurposed residential schools and military barracks.
    • They lacked basic amenities like laundry and kitchen facilities.
    • Tuberculosis was prevalent among Indigenous populations, highlighting the inadequate healthcare conditions which led to higher mortality rates.
    • Patients were often transferred to southern locations for treatment, further disrupting their home communities.
    • Similar to Residential Schools, "Indian Hospitals" were used for assimilation purposes, replacing Indigenous healing practices with Western biomedicine.
    • This approach was ineffective at addressing the specific health challenges faced by Indigenous populations.

    Nursing Licensure and Professional Standards

    • The NCLEX exam is a standardized test for aspiring registered nurses in North America.
    • Professional regulatory colleges safeguard the public by setting standards for registered nurses and other health practitioners.
