Hello Middlesex-Elgin members,

We have three wonderful Nursing Week opportunities for members:

  • nurse of distinction awards
  • education bursaries
  • member celebration

Details below.

A - Awards

Do you know a registered nurse (RN), nurse practitioner (NP) or nursing student who stands out for their love of and commitment to nursing, and is worthy of acknowledgement and celebration by their peers. Please consider nominating a nurse who stands out for one of the following four awards:

  • Nursing student of distinction
  • Registered nurse of distinction (two awards: direct care and indirect care)
  • Nurse practitioner of distinction

Submit your nominations by Tuesday, April 30. Please ensure the nominee knows you are submitting their name and they are willing to participate.

B - Bursaries

Have you been paying your own costs for ongoing nursing education? If so, consider applying for the education bursaries available from Middlesex-Elgin Chapter.

There are two bursaries of $500 for student members and two bursaries of up to $1,000 each for registered nurse and nurse practitioner members to apply for.
