Dear member,

You’re probably wondering how you can make an impact within your nursing community.

The answer is simple – get involved with FCNIG’s Executive Team!

 Now you’re probably asking what the benefits are. Here are just a few:

You voted with a unanimous 'yes' to offer a free membership to undergraduate nursing students for the remainder of 2021/2022 . This will be effective immediately, so inform any nursing students you know to contact RNAO to join.

Thank you for taking the time to vote.

FCNIG Executive

Dear member,

FCNIG executive would like to offer undergraduate nursing students a free membership for the remainder of 2021. This is one way we can increase our profile as an interest group and it is possible with the reduced expenses in our 2021 budget, the result of COVID-19.   We need the approval from our membership. 

To vote please go to  https://myrnao.ca/fcnig_vote_unsfree 

Voting will close April 15, 2021

FCNIG Members: A Message for National Nursing Week 2020

This year of the pandemic, National Nursing Week will be celebrated and remembered with greater significance. More than ever we can acknowledge the unlimited sacrifices and contributions nurses have made working on the front-lines in response to COVID-19. Even though we are all focused on the more crucial challenges, we can benefit by pausing to reflect on what National Nursing Week means to us.

Dear FCNIG member,

The FCNIG Executive has met and revised the bylaws. These changes were presented at our AGM in November, and are not to approved by membership,  via ‘one member one vote’. The bylaw changes are a result of our name change to Faith Community Nursing Interest Group (FCNIG). Additional changes comply with RNAO new guidelines for our executive structure positions and voting procedure.

FCNIG is happy to release our winter newsletter. You can read updates on our AGM and hear from our President Anne-Marie Mohler about 2019 Advent reflections.

We are wishing you and your families happy holidays.
