Posted on April 22, 2022, 2:48 p.m.

Dear Middlesex-Elgin member,

Nursing week 2022 is coming up soon - May 9-15! Our chapter executive has been working hard to bring you three events for the week! See below for the details and registration information for each event!

  • Springbank Park walk and talk – Monday, May 9 at 5:30 p.m.

Join your fellow members at Springbank Park for an outdoor in-person meet up! Take a stroll, enjoy the fresh air and give back by picking up trash to keep the park beautiful! Gloves and bags will be supplied. Our walking route will be approximately 30 minutes long. We will be meeting at picnic area D, next to the parking lot off of the main entrance off of Commissioners Rd. West. We will send an email out the day of the event to those registered if we have to cancel due to weather.

  • Breaking the Silence: Let’s Talk About Violence in Health Care – Wednesday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m. via Zoom

The Middlesex Elgin chapter, in partnership with the Mental Health Nursing Interest Group, would like to invite you to a virtual conversation with James Brophy and Margaret Keith, the authors of Code White: Sounding the Alarm on Violence against Health Care Workers. This 2021 publication shines a light on the human cost of violence within health care in Ontario.

Join us to hear what their research has revealed about this common challenge in our workplaces, and join a fulsome discussion of our experiences and what needs to be done to create safety in the health-care system.

  • Carry On the Conversation! – Friday, May 13 at 7:30 p.m via Zoom

This pandemic has dragged on forever (what wave are we on now?!), but we found that time flew by having fun at our last Candid Conversations event over charcuterie, drinks and a few virtual games. We are excited to announce  - back by popular demand - Candid Conversations, round 2! "Carry On the Conversation" will take place on Friday May 13 via Zoom! 

Missed out on the tasty charcuterie boards last time, or wanting to find out if they lived up to the hype? Enjoy an optional charcuterie board delivered directly to you. For $10, we will deliver an individual charcuterie board from the Posh Cheeseboard Company worth $20! This charcuterie board features fresh veggies, crackers, cheese and more. Not interested in the charcuterie board? Enjoy the night with your own drinks and snacks if you like. 

If you would like a charcuterie board delivered, please e-transfer $10 to the Chapter at middlesexelgin.rnao@gmail.com and include the following in the message section: name, address including postal code, email, phone number, and any allergies. Please send your e-transfer to the chapter by May 5, 2022 if you wish to receive a charcuterie board. Your board will be delivered the day of the event.

Registration will remain open until the day of the event. Registration for the event is free (without a charcuterie board). Zoom link will be sent in a confirmation email after registering. Click the link below to register!
