Derick Fauni, nurse educator in HSC’s Renal Program

Derick Fauni’s can-do attitude has paved the way for many opportunities in the nursing field. Fauni, a nurse for 14 years, began his nursing journey at HSC Winnipeg as a general duty nurse on HSC’s orthopedic surgery unit before transferring to the hemodialysis unit. There, Fauni began as a general duty nurse before becoming a charge (head) nurse; and now, Fauni leads the next generation of nurses as a nurse educator for the Renal Program. In this role, Fauni helps run the nine-week-long Manitoba Nephrology Nursing Course six times a year.

Fauni cites expanding this program and being a part of the opening of HSC’s new dialysis unit as a couple of the most rewarding moments in his career so far.

Learn more about Fauni’s multi-faceted career in the below video.
