With a new year, comes new goals! Our CAPN board are eager for new partnerships, advocacy initiatives, educational opportunities and more! Stay tuned to see all that we will accomplish this year to further paediatric nursing.

As we begin our new year, we would also like to thank former executive board members, May and Louise for their contributions with CAPN. You were both instrumental in revising the Canadian Paediatric Nursing Standards. Thank you! ❤

CAPN is pleased to welcome Jonathan Honsberger into his new role as president. We are excited to see all that you will accomplish as president of CAPN. 🎉

An immense thank you to our 2023 president, Rebecca Earle, for her hard work, dedication and tireless efforts as president. Congratulations for everything you accomplished this past year while advancing the profession of paediatric nursing.

Happy New Year from CAPN! 🎉 We hope your year is filled with good health, joy and prosperity! ✨

We would like to wish you a Merry Christmas from the Canadian Association of Paediatric Nurses. We hope you have a safe and festive holiday surrounded by your loved ones. 🎄 A special thank you to those spending the holiday caring for the children and their families. ❤️

Wishing everyone who celebrates, a Happy Hanukkah! May love and light fill your heart as you celebrate this holiday surrounded by friends and family. 💙✨

It’s been a blast BC! ❤️ Thank you to CHC and BCCH for hosting an informative and inspirational conference!

“We have a system to care for sick children, but we do not have a system to prevent children from becoming sick.” Dr. Javed Alloo at #ChildHealthCan23 CAPN is proud to be working together with interested partners to build the capacity of that system.

Our CAPN Exec enjoyed the welcome reception as well as tours of BCCH and the RMCHBC last night
