About
Dr. Laurie Peachey is a Canadian Certified Simulation Nurse Educator and Perinatal Nurse. Laurie has utilized Phenomenology of Practice in her research to uncover the lived experience of new graduate nurses using maternal-child simulation in nursing practice. Laurie’s research interests are rooted in practical education; her projects have incorporated the use of maternal-child simulation, the development of practical wisdom and imaginative thinking in nursing, and the ways the transition of new graduates entering perinatal nursing can be more effectively considered. Laurie is a founding member of the Ontario Simulation Alliance and the Canadian Alliance of Nurse Educators using Simulation. Laurie has contributed to development of peer-reviewed maternal-child simulation scenarios and has presented her work in simulation at the provincial, national, and international level. Laurie enjoys living in Northern Ontario for the beautiful outdoors activities the north has to offer.
