Dear member,

As members of the health care community, we recognize the challenges and uncertainties that are being placed upon our colleagues who are working extensive hours to beat Covid-19.   As a result, we are postponing the RetNIG/College of Nurses Webinar “Am I practicing Nursing”  and will reschedule in the near future.    

Thank-you for all you do!
