Hi Heather,
I reached out to the main advocate for OER in nursing in Alberta and didn't
source anything at the foundations level. Sorry. She has a few others if
you're interested:

in the health professions. Available at
http://epub-fhd.athabascau.ca/clinical-teaching/

professionals online: Frameworks and Strategies. Athabasca, AB, Canada: AU

She expressed interest in working on a foundations level open text, I would
love to connect you and/or David with her if something moves forward.

We’ve had some discussions about this with Rebus and
OpenStax, looking at
a health vertical and being very explicit about how it could work on
national/regional certification basis. Had the conversation with David
Harris (OpenStax) last April at Hewlett Foundation meeting. I think it
could be a biggie for all of us.
Early planning, but definitely being discussed. We’d love to do it as a
collective effort.

A nursing instructor here just told me that they’ve heard rumours that the
textbook they’ve been using for several courses may no longer have a
Canadian edition (https://www.amazon.ca/Canadian-Fundamentals-Nursing-
Patricia-Potter/dp/1926648536), which will mean them having to
begrudgingly switch to a Pearson text. She said it would be great if there
was an open textbook instead. Does anyone know of something existing or in
the works?
Thank you.
