This year has been quite stressful for many of us, but we are here, resilient. 

Many of us have to work in the next few weeks - we are nursing because our clients, patients and/or  residents need us. May this holiday season be one to help us to rest a little and get re-energized. 

Sincerely,

Paul-André Gauthier, Inf./RN, CNS; PhD (nursing) [ he / him ]
