Tania Dick,
Your vision is amazing. I am a Registered Psychiatric Nurse living in Ontario and unable to be registered with the College of Nurses of Ontario (there are others as well). I have always worked with RN's, LPN's and RPN's together, collaboratively for best practice of care. However, in coming to Ontario their has been nothing but barriers to registering in this province and feeling isolated and discriminated against by CNO. Internationally educated nurses get independent resources to review their credentials for registration. However, Canadian Registered Psychiatric Nurses do not this leaving us out in the cold for registering in the province we want to practice and are not eligible for the same unbiased review.
I have been watching BC closely as I am originally from there. I am excited and hopeful this vision will resonate across Canada and break down barriers for our nurses. I am proud to be a nurse and work with all designations. I miss working along side nurses and hope future discussions perpels this important topic across Canada, and breaks down the barriers for all nurses. A nurse, is a nurse, is a nurse.

Hi Tania, I am the president of the gerontological nursing association of b.c. We are having our provincial conference in Nananimo this year from April 12 until the 14th. Would love to chat to you about it in more detail. Also, I have heard from one of my colleagues that you live on the island and perhaps would consider being a guest speaker. Our theme is what really matters: the seniors perspective. Our thoughts were you could perhaps share what would be important from a cultural perspective?
