Warm holiday wishes to our members, Clinical Nurse Specialists! 

Dear CNS colleague, 

As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to celebrate you. Your expertise, compassion, and dedication don’t just transform patient and client care – you inspire everyone around you.

The holidays are a time to reflect, recharge, and reconnect. Whether you’re sharing special moments with loved ones, taking a well-deserved break, or simply enjoying the season, we hope it brings you peace, joy, and renewal.

We also have exciting news to share: we’re currently reviewing the results of Survey # 2 and are preparing a resolution for RNAO's AGM to support CNS prescribing in Ontario. This is a significant step forward in recognizing the critical role you, as a CNS, play in healthcare, and we’re thrilled to move this initiative ahead with your support. We are aware that we are facing many challenges in this journey.

Thank you for everything you do. You are not just skilled professionals but also the heart and strength of advanced nursing care. Your impact is immeasurable, and we’re honoured to work on your behalf to represent you.

Here’s to a holiday season filled with warmth, laughter and love, and a new year full of promise and progress!

With gratitude and best wishes,

Paul-André Gauthier, Inf./RN, CNS; B.Sc.N., TTC, MDD, MN, PhD (nursing) (he/ him/ il/ lui).
