Submissions will be celebrated on our social media throughout nursing week!
Every submission earns you and all of your palliative care nurse colleagues a Tim Horton’s gift card and PCNIG swag!
These past couple of years have been stressful, challenging yet a time of growth for us all. We are so excited to let you know that as a membership we want to offer to send a number of nurses to some of the Palliative Care conferences this year to say thanks and continue with your growth:
Below are the websites to provide you with information on the conferences.
To all PCNIG Members, This is a quick update to ensure we stay connected and up to date.
We are sad to report that we have had some unexpected changes to the executive due to a resignation. We wish Paul Andre Gauthier best of luck and thank him for his contribution to PCNIG executive. Mahoganie Hines who sits on the executive as Political Action ENO has agreed to take on interim President ENO position until the next election cycle in April 2022 when we can repost the president position.
