Miss Jean Copeland at- The Clinton Hotel was the scene for a stimulating evening for fifty nurses, members of the Huron County Chapter, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario. Nurses attended from Exeter, Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Lucknow, and Wingham. The professional organization includes nurses working in many areas of nursing in- cluding hospitals, com- munity health, nursing homes, industry and teaching.

It helped to draw the nurses together and make all aware that although they work in diverse fields the goal of all is the same, good nursing practice. The guest speaker for the evening was Ms. Maureen Powers, the executive ,director of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario. Ms. Powers, who holds a Master of Education Degree, was formerly the Director of Nurses at Children's 'Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa. Ms. Powers gave an ab- sorbing account of the wide range of activities the R.N.A.O. is involved in and the benefits derived by all nurses, not just members of the organization, from their efforts. There are eighteen thousand nurses who are members by their own choice but the voice of nurses could be given greater strength if all nurses in the province were aware of the great value their in- volvement and membership could provide. The goal of the R.N.A.O. is to improve the delivery and quality of health care for all the citizens of Ontario, from birth to death, - a very challenging pursuit. To this end the organization offers opportunity for members to improve their skills, by workshops and conferences, and to keep up to date on new techniques and trends in nursing practice. The R.N.A. 0. is also very involved in the drafting and presentation of briefs when legislation concerning health care is considered by the govern- ment. Personal benefits also come with membership. Malpractice insurance, and the "Canadian Nurse Journal" are to name but two. Those who are in- terested in travel also have opportunity to visit health' facilities in other countries under the sponsorship of the R.N.A.O. It was obvious that the members were keen to in- crease the membership and have other nurses join them so nurses can speak with a strong voice in Ontario on health care. A lively discussion period followed Ms. Powers presentation. During the evening tickets were sold on a sheepskin rug which was won by Judy Thurman of Exeter. The next meeting of the Chapter will be held on November 19 at the Clinton Hospital. Miss Joyce Shack, will outline some of the current issues before the association and resolutions will be drafted for presen- tation at the annual meeting in Toronto. Present mem- bers and associates are invited to attend as well as any nurses who are con- sidering membership. Nurses come and join us - our voice can be heard. Saintsbu By MRS.
