Dear member,
As the seasons shift and we welcome the warmth of spring and summer, I am reminded of the incredible resilience, dedication, and passion that each of you brings to the PeriAnesthesia community across Ontario.
As we celebrate upcoming Nursing Week May 12th to 18th, 2025, I want to take a moment to recognize each and every one of you. PeriAnesthesia nurses are essential to the patient journey, providing unique skilled, compassionate care during some of the most critical moments. This year’s OPANA’s Nursing week theme for 2025 is “Changing Lives. Shaping the Future”, truly reflects the vital role we play not just at the bedside, but leading innovation, advocacy, and education within healthcare. Your unwavering dedication, expertise, and heart make a real difference every single day and that deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated!!! Please take the time to celebrate yourself and your colleagues for all that you/we do. You DESERVE IT!!!
At OPANA, we’re excited for what’s ahead; more educational events, webinars, networking opportunities and ways to support your growth in this dynamic specialty. Stay tuned for announcements and ways to get involved!
Thanks again for your outstanding commitment, service, expertise to PeriAnesthesia care and nursing and your continued support of our association. Take time to celebrate YOU, you’ve earned it!!! OPANA is proud to support and celebrate you!!
Wishing you all a safe, joyful nurse’s week and summer!!!!
