Hello CNS colleagues,

We are planning a free webinar for the members of CNS-ON and CNS-Canada. You are invited to join us.

Monday, June 29 at 8 p.m.

Topics:

• COVID-19 update
• check-in on how members are doing

Hi CNS-ON  members,

Please be informed that we are going to host our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday, June 27 at 11:00 via Zoom. 

Register NOW!

On behalf of the Executive, we are hoping to see you all. 

Sincerely,

Happy Nursing Week !     

I hope this finds all of you well and as safe as possible. I am aware from my graduate students, many of whom will join the CNS ranks upon graduation, that there are many challenges in practice during this Covid-19 pandemic. Many have seen their units re-purposed and have been involved in training other staff on proper use of PPE. Many carry fears as to their own safety and the safety of their loved ones. This has led to difficult decisions regarding childcare and amount of time spent with family members in the same household.

Hello CNS-ON members,

Just as a reminder....  for our provincial awards:    ( see below the CNS-C Newsletter and an App )

Hello CNS colleagues,

We hope you are well despite all the turbulence in health care right now.
