This webinar is designed for members of the public and those working in health care to engage in meaningful conversations surrounding issues that are impacting aging families as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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!

Dear RetNIG Members,
The RNAO Retired Nurses Interest Group is conducting a short survey of its member’s attendance to the RNAO’s Queens Park on the Road (QPOR) 2019. Across Ontario RNAO members shared their experiences and knowledge to help inform elected provincial representatives about opportunities to improve health and health care. Political engagement with MPPs is an integral part of RNAO’s work to advance healthy public policy and we know that these visits lead to a positive change.
Welcome to all new and renewed RETNIG members, as we all start this new membership year as RNAO and IG supporters!
