Dear Nurses,
Re: National Nursing Week – Think you know nursing? Take a closer look…
Nursing week is a time of celebration and acknowledgement of the significant contributions that nurses make to enrich the lives of patients, families, communities, and the health care system. As the Provincial Chief Nursing Officer, I am very aware of the deep commitment and professional knowledge of nurses across the province. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere appreciation and personal greetings to all nurses in recognition of your enduring effort to promote the profession of nursing and support the delivery of quality care to Ontarians.
Every day, nurses demonstrate leadership and dedication to patients and family members experiencing alterations in health status. Using knowledge and expertise to promote the health of patients, clients and residents, nurses provide holistic and compassionate care and play an integral role in positively impacting both the quality and safety of care delivery.
I wish you great success and enjoyment of the various nursing events that your organization has planned for the week. Most of all, I wish that during Nursing Week and always, you will take some time to celebrate yourselves and your colleagues for the truly remarkable work that you do.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Burkoski
Provincial Chief Nursing Officer
