National Nurses Week is held each year in May and coincides with Florence Nightingale’s birthday. The theme this year is #WeAnswerTheCall and was developed by the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) to showcase the many roles that nurses play in a patient’s healthcare journey. In honour of Nurses Week, the CLPNPEI would like to acknowledge the leadership and continued commitment by LPNs to providing safe, competent and ethical care to Islanders during the public health emergency while balancing the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on their own lives. Their contribution makes a difference in the lives of their clients, families and colleagues.

Thank you to all of PEI’s Nurses for continuing to answer the call.

Happy National Nurses Week
