ONEIG members have told us that the problem of healthcare waste must be a priority. The plan for our chat will  be to introduce the issue of waste in healthcare and discuss how we might move forward as both an RNAO interest group AND as individual nurses. Join us to connect with fellow nurses and help us move forward as we advocate for a healthy environment! 

No preparation is needed, but if you'd like to learn more about waste in the healthcare system, consider the following resources:

Also: "The Story of Plastic" is a documentary that dives into the great problem of plastic pollution and is currently being virtually offered to ONEIG members. There are limited 'tickets', however, so be sure to use the emailed link (or email oneigrnao@gmail.com if you have not received it) soon if you're interested!
