Lisa Timmerman RN MN CHPCN(C)  is from Manitoba and is an Instructor II in the College of Nursing at the University of Manitoba. After earning her Bachelor of Nursing from the University of Manitoba in 2012, she developed a growing interest in palliative care across care settings. Lisa went on to complete graduate studies. Her thesis focused on symptoms at the end of life in nursing homes. During graduate school, she contributed to the development of the Supportive and Palliative Care theory course as part of the revised undergraduate nursing curriculum in the College of Nursing. Lisa has been teaching full time in the undergraduate nursing program since 2018. She has been certified in Hospice Palliative Care since 2019. More recently, she developed a palliative care community of practice that brings together undergraduate and graduate nursing students, faculty, and practicing nurses. This group meets monthly to discuss topics related to palliative care and to share experiences and learning across settings. Lisa continues to teach the Supportive and Palliative Care theory course, where her interests in nursing education and palliative care come together. She is excited for the opportunity to work with the Canadian Palliative Care Nursing Association and looks forward to getting to know people across the country.
