On behalf of the NSCN Board and staff, our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to the victims, families and communities impacted by the April 19 tragedy in Nova Scotia. Heather O’Brien, LPN, was a registrant of NSCN and it is with great sadness that there is one less nurse to serve and protect the public. Our thoughts are with all those affected as well as our immense gratitude to those who served on behalf of Nova Scotians during this time, including our police workforce, nurses and other health care workers.
