On October 22, the
Clinton Hotel Dining
Room was the scene for a
stimulating everting when
5.0 nurses, members of
the Huron County
Chapter, Registered'
Nurses Association 6f
Ontario, met. Nurses
attended from Exeter,
Goderich, Clinton,
Seaforth, Lucknow, and
Winghan1. The
professional organization
includes nurses working
'in many areas of nursing
including hospitals,
community health,
nursing homes, industry
and teaching.
The eveningbegan with
a Chinese dinner and
during the meal, mem-
bers exchanged ideas on
their areas of nursing and
also became aware of
concerns in other fields of
the profession. It helped
to draw the nurses
together and make all
aware that although they
may 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
T1j.•nr tr'r of N,,rcnc nt
Children's Hospital of
Eastern Ontario in
Ottawa.
Ms. Powers gave an
absorbing account of the
wide range of activities
the R.N;,A..Q. is. involved
in and the 'benefits
derived b..y all nurses, not
just remembers of th.e
organization, from 'their
efforts. Where are 18,000
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'
involvement 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.O. is also
very involved in the
drafting and presentation
of briefs when legislation
concerning health care is
considered by the
government.
