Chief of Psychiatry Dr. Marjorie Robb spent time in our CHEO Ottawa Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic today with France. What a nursing career France has had - from Labour and Delivery, to NICU and now follow-up! Such a wealth of knowledge! #Nurses_Week2023

Excited for our noon webinar today where CHEO Ottawa GI Nurse Juliana Choueiry will present her research study "Pain Care for Children with Cognitive Impairments: A Parent-Nurse Partnership". Our Nurses Week Celebrations continue!

I love this craft that the kids in the CHEO Ottawa Tender Tots program made for their Moms this year. Canvas and butterflies lovingly painted and then each butterfly placed with care. Happy Mother’s Day to moms who so willingly give others wings!
