CAET President Elect Candidate 2016 Karen Napier, RN BScN CETN(C) MClSc-WH Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta I am currently in a fulltime Clinical Nurse Specialist - Enterostomal Therapist (CNS-ET) position in the Home Living Program - Home Care in Edmonton, Alberta. In this position I provide recommendations and education to clients and staff in all three of the Enterostomal Therapy domains; wound, ostomy and continence management. I also participate in a number of committees and working groups related to my speciality areas of practice. I am involved in a number of AIM (Access Improvement Measure) initiatives in Edmonton. These projects focus on improving access to health care services. I am currently enrolled in the CAET leadership program. I have been in the CNS-ET position for the last year. Prior to this position I was in an ET position, for the same organization, since 2008. I completed my Masters of Clinical Science - Wound Healing program at the University of Western Ontario in 2012. Before becoming an Enterostomal Therapy consultant I had seven years’ experience working as a registered nurse in community care in Edmonton and four years as a palliative nurse at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I teach CPR and I have been a CPR instructor since 2006.
