Presidents Message

Message from the President - updated January 25, 2011

It is my pleasure and privilege to be working on behalf of Registered Nurses in our provincial health system. I truly see a wonderful, dedicated group of RN’s who are committed to providing high quality care to patients and clients through the evolving changes we are being faced with. It is my hope that over the next few years, we can continue our efforts to improve the work lives and work places of nurses in a sustainable, quality health system. As Registered Nurses you have a lot to contribute and your voice is important to the organization. I encourage you to continue making the Union aware of issues you face in your daily practice and to bring forth ideas you have to improve your working conditions. As President of the PEI Nurses’ Union I would like to assure you that the PEI Nurses’ Union will take every opportunity to improve the daily work lives of nursing environments and delivery of health services. My motivation is echoed in our mission statement:

PEINU promotes and protects the well-being of its members in their workplaces and their right to deliver high quality public health services with honor, respect and dignity.

I truly believe that working together we can contribute greatly to the future of our province and our Union. In closing, I appreciate all PEINU members’ efforts, especially those who go above and beyond their normal work lives to provide quality patient care.

Together, we make a difference in the lives of our patients.

Sincerely,

Mona O’Shea, RN
President
