March 2019 - 13 RPN Bursaries Awarded
RPNs across the province are consistently telling us that they want more opportunities for leadership development and their employers agree.
To support RPN leadership development, RPNAO is pleased to announce that 13 RPNs have been awarded bursaries for the Dorothy Wylie Health Leaders Institute. RPNAO received Expressions of Interest from 23 wonderful RPNs. It was a difficult task to select this years recipients. Each bursary will cover registration and travel costs for the RPNs to attend the May 21-24, 2019 Institute. Please use this link to learn more about the DWHL Institute.
