  • Michele Langille

    Atlantic < Back Michele Langille MCISc-WH, RN, BScN, NSWOC WOCC(C) Atlantic I consider myself a lifelong learner and after graduating from Dalhousie university with aBachelor of Science in Nursing, I began my career as a medical surgical nurse. This is where my interest and passion for wound and ostomy care bloomed. After several years, the University of Prince Edward Island became home as I became a clinical instructor. From there I launched into the wound ostomy continence field and became a student of the Canadian Association of Enterostomal Nurses. This was a great fit from the beginning. I had excellent mentors to whom I will always be grateful. In 2023, I finished a master’s in clinical science with emphasis on advanced health care practice and wound healing. This has enabled me to bring advanced practice into my inpatient and outpatient practice. Working in acute and chronic care realms, pediatric and geriatric, there is a lot of diversity and challenges. Educating my colleagues in nursing homes and community nursing, as well as the public whenever the chance arises, has been part of my professional duties. I have spoken at a conference for long-term care staff which sparked questions from physicians and nurses. I arrange biannual education sessions for nursing staff and participate in education sessions throughout the year whenever I am invited. Professionally, I have participated as a task force member for several documents such as position statements and decision aids and co-author of a consensus statement and published article. I have presented with posters and presentations at an Atlantic conference and National conference. The NSWOC community makes it easier to learn as I believe we all share the same passion for learning and helping.
