Interest Group Email Archive

Social media can be used to share interesting facts, stories and other important information. But it also raises a lot of questions. How can we stay safe online? How do we prevent being hacked? Are we safe to make purchases online?

Join the Staff Nurse Interest Group along with the Retired Nurse Interest Group on Zoom with guest Anukul Thakur who will present a webinar on social media safety. We will give more details on Anukul in the near future.

Please join us on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 7:30 pm (EST)  for a webinar on "Oral Care – We Can Change Practice.".

When asked, Nurses almost always say that oral care is not as well done as it should be in their practice settings! This they say is usually due to lack of supplies at bedside, workload, lack of knowledge or noncompliance to care given. As Oral Care significantly impacts a person’s wellbeing and health; Nurses need to ensure that Oral Care is done properly. (Uferguson 2000-present)

We would like to thank you for your membership, whether you're new to our group or returning!

Our executive had a planning meeting on July 16. We've put in the hard work to give you a year to look forward to. During the July meeting we developed our theme for 2022-23. “Don’t Delay – Become the Nurse You Want to Be Today!” See poster below.
