Hi RNIG (Rainbow) members,
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 ]
