Perhaps You would like to join the executive!  Watch for our call out in June for social media, policy and political action ENO and student liaison. We will mentor all into the roles. A tremendous Leadership opportunity!

The healthcare system depends on Registered Nurses 24/7, to deliver knowledgeable, evidenced based compassionate care to our clients/patients. To do this effectively we also need knowledge, evidence and compassionate care for ourselves.  The Staff Nurse Interest Group purpose is to foster the health and well being of the Staff Nurse.

This year has again been difficult as COVID 19 keeps rearing its ugly head in our communities. Nurses are exhausted and facing burn out.  

Self-Care - Starts with YOU ensuring that YOUR needs are identified, prioritized, and acted on.  Your well-being is important, so that you can deliver the healthcare that our patients/clients deserve. Consider well -being, in the domains of your physical, emotional, and spiritual health.  This will enable you to be the nurse you want to work with!

We look forward to providing you an exciting year ahead!

SNIG Executive.
