Beatriz Jackson

Beatriz has a Masters in Nursing from D’Youville College in New York. She has national and international experience in medical- surgical, oncology, emergency and coronary care. She also has administrative, project management and teaching experience. Currently, she teaches in the Community and Health Studies Practical Nursing (program?) at Centennial College.

She has served as membership executive network officer for Durham-Northumberland Chapter from 2010-2012, and is currently serving as the chapter president. As chapter president, she supported and participated in the Take Your MPP to Work and Queen’s Park on the Road annual initiatives. She is a strong advocate and supporter for students' attendance at the annual general meeting; supported the UOIT/DC RNAO Interest Group Open House, the RNAO Chapter ENO Q & A Panel, and the ENO- Student Mentorship Program.

She believes every nurse is a leader, advocate, and change agent who contributes to the physical, emotional and psychological well-being of patients and their families. She believes the Representative for Region 8 is a leader, advocate, change agent and an important link between the RNAO Board of Directors and the Region 8 chapter executives and the region’s members, to involve, engage, communicate and disseminate relevant and timely information that affects nursing and the broader community.
