In Canada, National Nurses Week is May 9—15 this year, and there will be numerous local and regional activities across the country, similar to those being held in the United States. At the national level, the Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF) will be holding its first annual Nightingale Gala, which will take place in Ottawa, with proceeds going to fund scholarships and research opportunities for Canadian nurses. The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) will be holding a 2½-day national workshop in Ottawa for nurse practitioners; approximately 50 people are expected to attend from across the country.

Cynthia Dusseault is a professional freelance writer with both a health and an education background. A former medical radiation technologist and elementary school teacher, she realized that no matter what she did, she was drawn to any task that involved writing, so she decided, over a decade ago, to write full-time. Since then, she has written for a variety of magazines and websites including Nursing PRN, National Review of Medicine, University Affairs, Your Health, Education Leaders Today, Today's Parent, Children's Playmate, WeightWatchers.ca and many more. She has written about topics such as asthma, genital herpes, circumcision, teleradiology, body art, learning disabilities and exercise trends, and she absolutely adores the fact that writing—particularly doing the research for the articles she writes—makes her a lifelong learner.
