We had a great visit in Chicago and were able to share Bevel Up at the AJN conference and at the University of Illinois. it was interesting to hear about the challenges and situations that other health care professionals and community workers face across the US. Rooted in the conver...sations were the US debate on the health care system and just how many people cannot access healthcare There were some definte misperceptions about the Canadian system.

Bevel Up: Drugs, Users and Outreach Nursing
is an educational kit (including a DVD, subtitled in French, with special features and a bilingual Teaching Guide) created to share knowledge not found in nursing schools and teaching hospitals. It shows how registered... nurses working with the BC Centre for Disease Control's Street Nurse Program provide health care to the people living in the alleys and hotels of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
Designed and produced by the street nurses themselves in collaboration with community members, Bevel Up offers instructors and students access to the experience of an entire community of health care practitioners who work with drug using populations.

Bijan Nasiri Any news from needle exchange closure in Victoria? Ant follow up/success for re-openning?
Meghanne Garris Highsmith The more I learn about your program and course of work, the more proud I am to be a nurse! I look forward to learning more, perhaps to be able to implement a program where we are in Florida. Such worthwhile work for such underserved people... keep up the good work!
Jessica Ross I met Caroline Brunt in Campbell River last week!! She's even better in person!
Tara Lee Romeo I have not watched the movie yet, but looking forward to it. I'm in class right now, to be Addictions Worker on a study for living green and working green on the street life. Do you have any ideals on this matter to help users on the streets to recyle their tools?
