Invitation to the RNAO-CTNIG Nursing Week Presentation via ZOOM
Date: Thursday, May 11, 2023 Time: 1900-2030
Are you curious and want to explore and learn more about who you are and your perspectives in life?
Want to further develop your self-awareness, reflection and self-care strategies ... to create something new in your life?
Join CTNIG member Elaine Pipher in her presentation on "Points of You" as an offering during Nursing Week.
What is "Points of You"?
"Points of You" is a set of unique tools that use photographs to provoke the mind into thinking in a different way about what we are seeing. A photograph is taken in a split second in time. It is something we would not normally analyze in depth. By looking at a photograph and using guided questions it allows us to slow our thoughts down and explore how we really think and feel about what we are seeing in a different way than what we are used to. That is to expand our perspective and allow us to see points of view other than our own. It was developed by Efrat Shani and Yaron Golan in 2006 and there are facilitators all over the world.
Elaine will be facilitating an information session and coaching you through an experiential component using some of the tools utilized in "Points of You " to enhance being curious and learning about who we are and our perspective. They can be used on a personal level, in groups or in professional development settings.
You will need to register for this webinar presentation!
Please note: Because of the coaching nature of this presentation there are a limited number of spaces available, so please register early.

RNAO-CTNIG 20th Anniversary
A Spotlight Series:
Your Story
RNAO-CTNIG is celebrating it’s 20th anniversary this year and we would like to celebrate our membership as well by putting a spotlight on our members throughout this year.
We invite our RN and student nurse members to send along your stories (approximately 500-700 words) of how you became interested in Complementary Therapies (CT), either as a recipient, advocate, or practitioner.
Areas of interest...
- how did you become interested in CT?
- short description of the modality you use/practice/advocate
- how do CT impact your personal or professional life (benefits)?
- where do you practice CT (workplace, private practice, volunteer, family)?
- how did you introduce CT into your practice/workplace?
- what qualifications/education do you need to become a practitioner of the specific modality?
- where can you access education for the specific modality?
Your stories will be featured in our Spotlight Series and shared with our members.
Not only will we get to know our members but these stories will provide relevant information about specific CT to those who might be considering using them personally for self-care; advocating for CT in nursing/healthcare, or incorporating CT into nursing practice. These stories may be especially useful to our student nurses and RNs who are new to CT to gain a better understanding of the wide range of CT and their uses.
