The CCCN NB
spring conference was held on May 1st and 2nd with
79 registered nurses and one student nurse in attendance. Nurses from
New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia were in attendance.
The social evening on May 1st was a wonderful opportunity
for nurses to network, share in a glass of wine and discuss the topic
of Therapeutic Hypothermia Post Cardiac Arrest.
May 2nd was a full day of lecture
style education. To view some of the presentations you can visit the
following link:

Many of our presenters came dressed in red

Red Dress in support of Women's health".
Happy Nursing Week!
