Lisa Groulx started her career in 2006, as an emergency staff nurse at Guelph General Hospital in Guelph, Ontario, Canada. She is now the Emergency Clinical Educator - Professional Practise Lead. She followed her passion for continuous education and learning in the clinical nurse setting, and obtained a master’s degree in nursing (teaching focus) in 2017. After recognising the value of ultrasound-guided PIVs in difficult-access cases, Lisa led the development of a UGPIV training programme for nurses at Guelph General Hospital. Her evidence-based, collabourative approach resulted in high interest and participation among ED nurses. As a result, the nurse-led UGPIV programme has begun making a positive impact on nursing practise and patient satisfaction.
