Join us for a Graduation Celebrating our Internationally Educated Nurses
Monday, November 18th at 13:00-15:00

We would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the success of our IENs who have passed their registration exams and registered with CNO as RNs and RPNs within the last year. We collectively congratulate you for your hard work, commitment, perseverance, and dedication to becoming tomorrow’s Nursing Leaders in Ontario.

We are more than honored and privileged to have with us Canada’s Chief Nursing Officer, Dr. Leigh Chapman to provide opening remarks to kick off our virtual graduation ceremony. CARE Centre’s dear long term friend Dr. Angela Cooper-Brathwaite to join our celebration as our keynote speaker. Dr. Brathwaite is an IEN who is also a great champion for IENs. She was inducted into the Order of Ontario and appointed to the Order of Canada in 2022. Angela is Past President of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO) and Co-Chair of RNAO’s Anti-Black Racism Task Force, Adjunct Professor & Associate Graduate Faculty Member at Ontario Tech University. We look forward to her words of wisdom on “Building Resilience Through Adversity, Determination and Perseverance”.

Please feel free to invite your family, friends, and colleagues to this beautiful celebration.
