· engaging people who use substances

· how to avoid the use of restraints

Presentations will be made by nurses who have implemented RNAO's BPGs on the above topics into their practice.

Dear Members,

Unfortunately there has been very little interest in the December 5th LAP presentation, Understanding Violence & Harassment in the Workplace. I don't believe this is because of a lack of interest on the subject, but is more likely due to the business of the season. Therefore we will reschedule this event to another date in the New Year. Once a new date has been selected we will send another communication.

Have a wonderful holiday season and remember to take some time to restore yourself during the busy season.

Hello,

You are invited to attend a free event hosted by the Western Fanshawe Nursing Student Association at Western University on Nov. 26. Please see the attached poster for more information.
