YOUR IMPACT

Dear ARNET Donors,

Thank you so much for supporting my continued education as a Community RN! This funding has allowed me to recertify as a Community Health RN proving my commitment to providing quality care to Albertans in their own homes. This work is more important than ever as we aim to keep Albertans healthy and well at home and therefore out of our very overwhelmed Hospitals, allowing those facilities to focus on our sickest patients.

ARNET funding is beyond appreciated.

Thank you for supporting Alberta RNs! 

A grateful nurse.
