The theme this year is #YesThisIsNursing.
The theme, which was created by Alliah Over, RN, MN, of Newmarket, Ontario, was selected by CNA ( Canadian Nurses Association) in 2017 and has been carried over for 2018. CNA picked it from among nearly 300 submissions by nurses, students and other Canadians.
Here is how Over described the inspiration for her submission: Nursing roles are evolving at an exponential rate, particularly with the influence of technology and the expansion of digital technologies. We can leverage social media to raise awareness, promote advocacy and connect people across the globe on important issues. For me, this theme speaks to the expanding traditional and non-traditional roles, settings and sectors nurses work in as well as the unique opportunities for our profession presented by social media and emerging tech trends.
How relevant to times of change, innovation and EVOLUTION of NURSING at TGHC!
Let’s thank the Nurses at TGHC for bringing the best of themselves to support the mission and vision of The Salvation Army Toronto Grace Health Centre.
We honour their defining role in partnering with the patients, families and the interprofessional team to deliver high quality care.
