I have been a nurse for almost 20 years. As a new grad, senior nurses stressed the importance of a strong union and safety committee. I started working with the Johsc in the DTES where I learnt the importance of advocacy and documentation. My next job was in management, so I learnt the importance from a different perspective and different province. During Covid, we had to advocate for a committee and initiated a new committee for our new department. I learnt, in a stressful and busy time, the importance of putting the safety of nurses/staff first was paramount. I feel as if my experiences has lead me to persue and have passion for this position. I look forward to supporting you as the new OH&S rep.
