How COVID Is Changing the Future of the Nursing Profession

We're only two weeks in, and May has already proven to be a significant month for worker movements. We've seen a rapid increase in calls for labor unions across major corporations. We've seen workplaces implement new tactics in attempt to improve worker shortages, especially in front-line positions.

As well, earlier this year, Ontario started recognizing internationally trained nurses. While this deployment started in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many are…

Networking in 2022: Make Connections Like Never Before

19 May 2022

Then, last year, I attended my first conference since the pandemic hit, which also happened to be my first online conference: Collision 2021. This year, however, I've already attended two—one of which was entirely online; the other, partly bimodal, but mostly in-person. And although almost everyone seems to agree Zoom just isn't quite as nice as being in-person, it's important to recognize the pros and cons of each. More importantly, it's important to remember how drastically conferences and…
