To our nursing students,
Happy new year!
The NSO executive members hope that everyone has had a restful holiday break spent well with friends and family. For those of you heading into your first clinical practicums, you've got this! For those heading into their last semester of clinical practicums or have just completed their last, we're incredibly proud of you and thank you for choosing such an incredible profession.
Beginning this month, the NSO is thrilled to introduce a new initiative to improve member engagement via a bi-monthly newsletter that aims to clarify NSO's role within the RNAO ecosystem, give nursing students a year-round opportunity to spotlight their achievements, and to help connect nursing students with ongoing events like webinars or RNAO's Board of Directors' Student Placement. You'll find the newsletter attached with embedded links to the event and registration page for convenience, which we urge you to use to explore our upcoming events:
- Model WHO Student Conference at Humber River Health (Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026)
- Planetary Health webinar with Dr. Barbara Astle RN, PhD and Ankur Patel RN, BScN (Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026)
- Social Prescribing webinar with Margaret Lin RN, MHLP and Benji Finestone RN, BScN (Thursday, March 19, 2026)
We look forward to keeping our student members updated with more news, achievements, and we hope to connect nursing students across the province! Best of luck!
