Emanuela Ciarlelli, BScN, MScN
Emanuela Ciarlelli is the Nurse Manager of the Operating Room at the Jewish General Hospital. She has been in a leadership & management role for 15 years, spending most of her career as the Nurse Manager of the Orthopedic Department. During that time, she put in place many patient-centered initiatives that helped improve & optimize patient care and decrease length of stay. She is currently known for a high recruitment and retention rate throughout the CIUSSS. She is also a guest speaker for 2 BSN courses and one graduate MS(A) stream at the Ingram School of Nursing (ISON), McGill University. She works closely with McGill graduate students and developed Strength-Based Nursing in Healthcare education tools (posters & videos of personal accounts of Strength-Based Nursing and Healthcare, SBNH) for nurses. In addition, she submitted her own personal story of strength to ISON during the second COVID wave. Emanuela was inspired to become a mentor because she would like to help nurses better understand SBNH. During her graduate studies, she had the opportunity to take the SBN course at ISON. During SBNH sessions held at the JGH with Dr. Gottlieb, she gained a better understanding of SBNH and would like to share this knowledge with nurses. She successfully implemented SBNH in the Orthopedic Department and has begun the implementation of SBNH in the Operating Room, mission anecdotes from the weekly publication "Il Risveglio Popolare."
