As we kick off the 2010 National Nursing Week celebrations, let’s take a few minutes to reflect on the theme for this occasion:
Nursing: You Can’t Live Without It!
CKHA nurses are not only “caring people, caring for people”, they are skilled and intelligent providers who prevent suffering and save lives. Here at CKHA we value our nurses for their strength and knowledge; they are kind and they are smart. Our nurses participate in research, make provisional diagnoses, prescribe evidence-based best practice treatments, and identify the need for medications to relieve symptoms and cure diseases.
Nurses possess scientific knowledge, skills and compassion that helps to keep individuals, families and communities healthy. The commitment to health promotion, disease prevention, and client-centred care make a difference in people’s lives. Thank you to our nurses for your commitment and for strengthening health care here at CKHA, in our community and in the province.
