This year, the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) will be celebrating it’s 26th Annual National Nursing Week. “The week celebrates Canadian nurses and their dedication to patient care and the health-care system. The purpose of National Nursing Week is to increase awareness among the public, policy-makers and governments of the many contributions nurses make to the well-being of Canadians.” (CNA Website) ‘The theme chosen for 2011, Nursing—The Health of Our Nation, is an adaptation of a submission by Lori-Ann Sacrey of Newfoundland and Labrador as part of a contest held by the CNA.’ National Nursing Week is of particular importance to Canadians because “if the health needs of Canadians continue to change according to past trends, and if no policy interventions are implemented, Canada will be short almost 60,000 RN’s by 2022.”
