National Nursing Week 2024
St. Joe’s is celebrating Nursing Week from May 6 - 12, 2024
The Canadian Nurses Association’s Nursing Week theme this year is “Changing Lives. Shaping Tomorrow.” Through staffing challenges and capacity pressures, nurses at St. Joe’s continue to provide high-quality care through the continuum of a patients’ journey. Whether it be holding the hand of a patient, recommending new models of care to best address patient needs or encouraging other nurses with education opportunities, our nurses are innovators, care givers, researchers, educators and leaders who are changing lives and shaping tomorrow.
