Hello, Region 11 Nurses:

We wanted to take a moment today to THANK YOU and recognize all the amazing work being done by our NPs, RNs, and Nursing Students across Northern Ontario. You have been resilient, and have continued to share your knowledge, skills, and passion for caring with others amid these busy times. You have gone above and beyond.

However, we also know many of you are tired, and at times frustrated. We know you have given up much of your own time to keep going, keep caring, and keep being amazing nurses.

We are back in action! We have rescheduled and elevated our security measures on Zoom to ensure a successful Region 11 Spring Forum ~ Opioids: The Forgotten Crisis.

Let’s not forget about the many public health crises facing our communities during this time – the opioid crisis being one of them!

Hello RNAO Members of Region 11,

We hope you and your families, friends, and colleagues are staying safe and healthy!

Next week is Nursing Week 2020! Cheers to all of you – it is a time to reflect, celebrate, and continue pushing nursing forward!

Therefore, Region 11 is inviting you to join us in our first collaborative Spring Forum.

We know that Covid-19 is not the only public health crisis facing our communities, and the opioid crisis is one of many that we cannot forget to discuss and take action on as nurses and RNAO members.
