  • The Heart Le Coeur
    Issue 27 – Fall 2006 The Heart Le Coeur Newsletter of the McGill & Communiqué de la communauté de School of Nursing Community l’École des sciences infirmières de McGill “Please Call Me Frank”: An Interview With Franco Carnevale ULRIKA DREVNIOK ntil recently, Franco Carnevale was the critical care coordinator of the Montreal Children’s Hospital for the PICU, NICU and ER, as well as the Chair of the Pediatric Ethics Commit- Utee. As of October 16th, his growing academic portfolio has expanded to include the title of Assistant Director of the Master’s Program at the School of Nursing. He maintains professorial duties, supervision of graduate students, and conduction of research at the SON, and is also active in the Biomedical Ethics Unit and the Counselling Psychology Department, both at McGill. Dr. Car- nevale will also maintain his pediatric ethics and critical care advanced practice nursing responsibili- ties at the Children’s. Dr. Carnevale does not understand the term “male nurse”. He calls it a “bizarre label”, and after interviewing him I have to agree that the “male” qualifier isn’t really necessary. Dr. Carnevale holds an undergraduate degree in nursing, Master’s degrees in nursing, education, bioethics, philosophy, a doctorate in psychology, and a doctorate-in-progress in philosophy. While he says he does struggle with the phenomena within nursing of faster ascension within the ranks for males, there can be no question of his qualifications for the various hats he wears within the MUHC. By the way, don’t ask him how much he works. For all the hours he’s put in, his father estimates that he’s been making less than minimum wage over the course of his education and career.
