Happy PeriAnesthesia Week 2022
Dear valued PeriAnesthesia Nurses,
I want to take a moment to wish you a Happy PeriAnesthesia Week 2022 on behalf of OPANA.
Please join us for our Virtual OPANA Annual General Meeting this Saturday November 13, 2021 @ 9:00am.
See link below to join:
Hi Everyone,
For the past year perianesthesia nurses have been asked to do a variety of jobs outside of their regular role and they have not only been up to the task, but also highly valued in many ways. Perianesthesia nurses have been added to ICU teams, floated out to many different surgical and medical units. We have been giving injections at COVID-19 vaccine centres, collecting samples at assessment centres, and have become PPE experts. All of this while holding down the fort in preop clinics, surgical admissions, PACU and surgical day cares.
Hello Everyone, please see the email below from the National Association of PeriAnesthesia Nurses regarding their Annual General Meeting:
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in a historic moment for NAPANc. Thanks to COVID 19 we must hold our Annual General Meeting virtually. Unfortunately we will not be hosting education session as we would if we were gathered together for a weekend event.
Happy Nurses Week!
As you know the World Health Organization has declared 2020 the Year of the Nurse and Midwife coinciding with the 200th anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale.

Dear OPANA members,
We have had a few changes to our Symposium Agenda due to unforeseen scheduling difficulties. Added to the agenda is "Preparing the Bariatric Patient for Surgery" and "Cannabis and the PeriAnesthesia Patient". We hope the change in presentations is also of interest to our members-there will also be a great opportunity to have an Open Mic session of Questions and Answers.
We hope to see you there for this one day event!
Kind regards,
Ramona

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying the summer weather, but managing to stay cool!
I would like you to know about the upcoming Ontario PeriAnesthesia Nurses Association conference being held in Niagara Falls on the weekend of October 20 &21, 2018. This promises to be a great opportunity to network with likeminded PeriAnesthesia nurses and to learn about what is going on at other hospitals around the province. We have dynamic speakers who will be presenting the latest information helpful to nurses working in perianesthesia environments.
Dear OPANA members,
I hope you are all enjoying the weather! Please enjoy this copy of The Monitor and if you have any feedback or recommendations, please contact us at info@opana.org

Dear OPANA members,
Dear OPANA members,
First of all, I would like to welcome you to a new communication platform on the RNAO website! It has taken me a little bit of time to learn to navigate myself through the new RNAO Chapters & Interest Groups website and I'm finally ready to post my first email to you all. Although this post will be late, I hope you all had a very happy PeriAnesthesia Nurses last week!
Dear OPANA members,
