NSCN has been monitoring the ongoing public discussions and public gatherings with respect to the issue of the COVID-19 vaccination across Canada and here in Nova Scotia. While all Canadians enjoy the right of free speech, NSCN would like to take the opportunity to remind all NSCN registrants that as a nurse, you are a trusted health care professional and leader in Nova Scotia. Views and statements by nurses on important health matters that share or support misinformation have the potential to negatively impact the health and safety of the public.
