    Moira MacArthur

    Nursing Student at St. Francis Xavier University

    Moira MacArthur is a registered nurse who recently completed her MBA at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.12 She graduated from St. Francis Xavier University with a B.Sc. in nursing in 2016 and worked for six years as a nurse, first on an orthopedic trauma floor at the Halifax Infirmary and then in an ophthalmology operating room at the Victoria General hospital in Halifax.1

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, MacArthur was deployed to work in a COVID-19 testing unit and later in an ICU. This experience sparked her interest in understanding how leaders make public health decisions, leading her to pursue an MBA while continuing to work part-time as a nurse.12

    As part of her MBA program, MacArthur completed an 8-month corporate residency at the Nova Scotia Health Innovation Hub, where she worked on projects such as implementing wearable technology for patient monitoring and introducing surgical robotics to Nova Scotia operating rooms.13

    After graduating with her MBA in spring 2024, MacArthur secured a position as a health services manager at the orthopedic trauma unit at the Halifax Infirmary, where she had first worked as a nurse.1 In this role, she manages various aspects of the unit, including staffing, budgets, and patient care issues.

    MacArthur is passionate about combining her nursing experience with her business education to improve healthcare leadership and decision-making. She advocates for having more healthcare professionals with clinical experience in leadership roles to ensure that the needs of front-line workers are considered in policy decisions.12
