Nursing Week Message - May 10-16, 2021

Happy Nursing Week  Sudbury RNAO members,

National Nursing Week takes place from the Monday to the Sunday of the same week as Florence Nightingale’s birthday, Wednesday, May 12. This year National Nursing Week is celebrated from May 10-16. 

The theme this year  is #WeAnswerTheCall…and this year, we sure did answer the call!!

The Pandemic and our collective responses as nurses is and continues to be outstanding. Each of us had to endure adjusting to continuous shifting processes, policies and demands. We have adapted to work in areas where we have little or no prior experience and sacrificed much to meet the needs of our patients and our communities. We continue to support the needs of many, including our employers, our colleagues, those in our care and those in our personal lives. We will persevere during this difficult time and will collectively overcome this pandemic. 

We are nurses, we are professionals, we are resilient and… we continue to answer the call.

Best wishes this Nursing Week.

 

David Groulx RN

President, RNAO Sudbury Chapter
