On April 10th we celebrate annual Indigenous Nurses Day in honour of Charlotte Edith Anderson Monture, a Kanien’kehà:ka woman who was the first Indigenous registered nurse in Canada.
We honour the health care contributions and achievements of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis nurses, educators, and students in Canada. Thank you for your commitment, courage, teachings, and invaluable role in improving the health care of Canadians.
Special Message from CASN Executive Director, Jean Daniel Jacob
