Calgary, Alberta, Canada Chapter of The Truth About Nursing
Please see our Chapter Mission page to see some of the activities we are encouraging our chapters to work on at meetings.
We encourage members to get together iwherever they find convenient. Ideal location would be a school cafeteria, cafe, meeting room or someone's home. It would be best if there was wireless internet access so members could send letters from and access the Truth's website. But this is not necessary.
We have appointed Marilyn Fife to be the chapter's president until elections can be held. Marilyn practices nursing in the Urgent Mental Health ER of Alberta Children's Hospital and in the Community in a Specialty clinic for children ages 5-12 years. Please contact her to get involved with the Truth's work at:
Members--our chapters will essentially be member-run organizations. As you may know, the Truth is largely run on volunteer labor with only a skeleton staff at the main office. So we really need our Chapters to coordinate and facilitate as much of the chapter events as possible such as organizing the time and place of meetings, and working together to work on the Truth's Chapter missions. We need you to take the reins in your hands! Find local depictions of nursing you'd like to rectify, or find people who do not understand nursing and educate them. There are so many things you could do, please feel free to assess the situation and take action, just as you would on your patients. We offer you full autonomy! Please see our Chapter Mission page to begin your plans, but you are not limited to what is on that page.
When Chapter members decide on meeting places and times, please let us know the details and we will post them here on our website. Thank you.
