TESTIMONIALS

  • "I was first introduced to CAPWHN as a new staff nurse. I was part of my local MoreOB team, but I was looking for more. A mentor recommended I join CAPWHN and strongly encourage me to go to the conference. From the first day of the conference, it felt like I found my professional home, surrounded by like-minded and passionate colleagues. Since then I have been increasingly more involved in CAPWHN and currently have the honour of representing BC/AB/Yukon. I look forward to the conference every year as a chance to reconnect with colleagues and engage in new learning opportunities!"

  • "I joined CAPWHN after I attended my first conference in 2014. I was interested in being surrounded by positive and passionate professionals in the perinatal field and sharing information across the country on different endeavours. I love the interactions I see on the forum and the easy access I have to a wealth of resources across the country that can help me advance in my career and apply best practice to my every day issues. It's also nice to bounce ideas off one another and get opinions about some of the struggles I meet on a daily basis."
