Emily Phillips
I was born and raised in southern Ontario and attended the University of Western Ontario for my undergraduate education. I have a Bachelor of Medical Sciences degree along with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, both from the University of Western Ontario. I moved to Winnipeg in 2013 to participate in the Winnipeg Critical Care Nursing Education Program (WCCNEP) and never left. After completing the WCCNEP, I worked in the post-operative cardiac surgery ICU. I began working as a clinical education facilitator with nursing students on the cardiology unit, which opened the door to the educator role on that unit from 2015 to 2021 when I took the role of Clinical Nurse Specialist. I completed my Master of Nursing degree through the University of Manitoba in 2020 and began my doctoral studies in Applied Health Sciences in 2021 with Todd Duhamel and Rakesh Arora.
I enjoy collaborating with other healthcare professionals to drive change using research evidence in innovative ways to ensure we are providing the best experience and care to patients and care partners.
Laura Runcie
Laura Runcie is a registered nurse with a passion for cardiovascular care, nursing as a profession, and continued/specialty education. Although she still considers herself a young nurse, she has squeezed a lot of learning, and experience into the past 9 years. Laura considers active effort in her own professional development key to fueling her zeal for, and satisfaction in CV nursing!
Shortly after beginning her nursing career in 2013, and with encouragement from colleagues, Laura joined CCCN. This decision was instrumental in setting the trajectory of her career. As an active member, she has attended any and all conferences, education days and journal clubs she could. In 2016, alongside a friend, she presented her first abstract at the CCCN Spring conference. That same year, she became a CNA certified cardiovascular nurse. Laura now serves on the CCCN BOD as the Director of Communications and Membership. Beyond her involvement with CCCN, Laura completed her MSN through UBC in 2019.
When not on the quest for (formalized) knowledge, Laura can be found working! Having practiced as a RN in both New Brunswick and British Columbia, her nursing experience (thus far) includes: Cardiac Stepdown and Coronary Care units, in addition to Cardiac Catheterization. More recently she has moved into a Cardiac Surgery Nurse Associate role; but still “moonlights” on her CCU home turf at the New Brunswick Heart Centre.
Of course there is more to her than working and “nerding out” over the heart. Laura has been married longer than she has been a nurse, has 2 amazing little girls and a dog. She loves coffee, exploring the outdoors, and drinking coffee outdoors.
