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

Thank you
FCNIG Executive
