PERIANESTHESIA NURSES WEEK CELEBRATIONS 2010:
1. Please see the attached, "President's Greetings for PeriAnesthesia Nurses Week", 2010.
2. PeriAnesthesia Nurses Poem: Submitted by Ann Hladky, Registered Respiratory Therapist, Royal Alexander Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, February 2010:
"Recovery Room Nurses are the best,
Some would even say 'a step above the rest'.
A cool hand or a kind word,
Even drugs when the pain is absurd.
Having surgery without fear is rare;
It is a relief to wake up to people who care.
This is the week that you employ
Rightful recognition that I hope you enjoy."
