Lynne Esson is a Lecturer in the School of Nursing. She graduated from Vancouver Community College ( now Langara) in 1983 with a Diploma in Nursing. After graduation she worked at St Paul’s Hospital, in general surgery and acquired extensive experience in the area of Adult Medical Surgical Nursing . In 1988, she received her BSN from the University of Victoria. Since 1988 she has taught in all years of the BSN program at UBC. In her early days at UBC she was involved with Distance Education and Technology as a tutor for the BSN Outreach Program and also taught at the college level. She has taught in the simulation lab, classroom and clinical settings. She has been an active member of the BC History of Nursing Society ( BCHONS) since 1995.

In 1999, she had the opportunity to participate in UBC’s Partnership with the Guru Nanak College of Nursing and the Canada India Education Society . Over the next six years she travelled and worked in Punjab India with students from our BSN program, which was a genuine privilege. Over her almost 30 years at UBC she has held many leadership positions, mentored countless new faculty and contributed to the education of “to many to count” nursing students. At the present time Lynne is teaching in the Undergraduate Program in a clinical course and holds the role as a Clinical Practice Faculty Lead. On a more personal note, though not an Alum of UBC School of Nursing, I want to acknowledge all those who have been a part of my life journey. Each of you have enhanced my learning and growth, provided guidance, support, friendship and colleagueship, I am a better individual for having had the occasion to have shared my time with each of you. |
