The National Association of PeriAnesthesia Nurses of Canada (NAPANc) was formed in 2002 by a group of like-minded individuals, all PeriAnesthesia Nurses, from across Canada, each with their own provincial perianesthesia nursing association. The intent of this alignment was to increase networking of knowledge, skills and strength of their specialty in order to improve patient care and to increase recognition of their/our area of specialty.

 

NAPANc is comprised of associations from across 10 provinces and 3 territories of Canada (click on the flags to your left to learn more about each province or territory: by holding your cursor over the flag, the name of the province that each flag represents will appear).  The task of organizing an association across a country of this size can be a daunting one, but over time and with perseverance and tenacity, this specialty association finally came to fruition and has now reached international recognition.  Modern technology has enhanced this possibility, as the Association is now purely web based for its members and through electronic mail and telephone calls, the Volunteers of NAPANc are able to meet and plan.

 

NAPAN in Cree means “Eyes Open”, and thus the quarterly newsletter has been named, the “Eye Opener”.   The NAPANc logo reflects this theme with the red maple leaf inside the large “C” resembling the pupil of an eye.

 

This website will evolve over time, as new and current information in the field of PeriAnesthesia Nursing becomes available and necessary for our work. So keep your eye on NAPANc and on this website!  And watch what NAPANc is doing for you now!

 

In closing, we would like to thank the Founding Members of NAPANc for their foresight and passion for creating the National Association of PeriAnesthesia Nurses of Canada (please see "Founding Members" under "About NAPANc"). 

" There is no magic in the word association.  We must never forget that the individual makes the association.  What the association depends on are its members.  A nurse's association can never substitute for the individual nurse." - Florence Nightingale

NEWSLETTER EDITOR RESIGNS!

 

NAPANc wishes to thank Sue Nahorney from Barrie, Ontario for her dedicated, passionate volunteer work over the past 3 years as NAPANc's Newsletter Editor (extraordinaire).  Sue has resigned from this position with a change in her career path and a new focus, but we thank Sue from the bottom of our hearts for her efforts in development of an electronic newsletter for all of NAPANc's members, PeriAnesthesia Nurses from across Canada.

 

Sue was also the Newsletter Editor for OPANA, (Ontario PeriAnesthesia Nurses Association) over the past 10 years.  Sue started with nothing, but gradually developed a newsletter that was one to be proud of.  Still as OPANA's editor, Sue consented to take on NAPANc's Newsletter "in her spare time" almost 3 years ago, turning out not one, but two newsletters every 3 months for these two associations.

 

A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to Sue from NAPANc!  She will be sorrily missed.  See Sue's photo below.

 

If you are interested, or know of anyone who may be interested in becoming NAPANc's next Newsletter Editor, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  Assistance, support and training will be provided in this role.
