Join us for this annual nursing education event.   Safe work environments are key to nursing safety.  Safety encompasses physical safety, emotional safety and psychological safety.   Come hear from a panel of nurses about how they keep “safety first” at work.  Then relax and enjoy some “self-care” sessions to help you maintain balance in your life.  You can explore tai chi, mindfulness, pet therapy and traditional indigenous healing therapies.
