Hello SNIG Members:
Writing to you in time of Covid-19. It is a time when the work of nurses is being appreciated by our country. I had planned to retire but I decided to defer for now as I want to be part of the health care workforce. Like most of you I gave fears and anxieties. I work in a psychiatric facility.

Greetings SNIG members, I am sending this email to inform you of some items of interest for staff nurses and members of RNAO
**On February RNAO members took part in Queens Park Day. Members of RNAO influence government policy development a great deal. The previous health minister Eric Hoskins said that RNAO was the most influential organization that he worked with.
Greetings SNIG members:
I am writing today, October 9, just after Thanksgiving Weekend. I am thinking of what I am grateful for. Last evening I visited my 94 year old aunt who is a patient in hospital after fracturing her hip. She was in an orthopedic trauma unit in which there were four patients and 2 nurses in the room caring for them. I was thankful for the care the nurses were giving my aunt and the other vulnerable clients. I left knowing she was receiving close monitoring and good care.
Greetings SNIG members.
