This week is 2010 Nurses Week. The theme is “Nursing: you can’t live without it!”
There is a need to inform the public of the diversity of nursing. The scope of nursing practice now includes research and informatics.
The Nunavut Arctic College nursing students held a blood pressure clinic as a public service in Northmart this Wednesday May 12. The students took many blood pressures and disseminated information about TB, Nutrition and Pregnancy as well.
