Today we are bringing you a bonus podcast episode! As the CNA elections approach, you have a choice when it comes to your CNA President-Elect pick. I wanted to bring both candidates to the table to dive deep into what they envision for their tenures, should they be the successful winner.
Cynthia Bryanton RN, BScN has over 36 years of experience in acute and long term care, 20 of those years being in senior leadership positions. Cynthia is currently the Health PEI Directo of Nursing, Long Term Care East Prince. She is an active volunteer having been the Past President of the ARNPEI, served has a board member on the CNA, CRNPEI, Community Care Facility and Nursing Homes Board of PEI and much more.
Sylvain Brousseau RN, PhD has over 33 years of experience in the health care network. Not only does Sylvain have a wide experience from acute care to community health, nursing management to infection prevention, but he also has significant experience in nursing governance. He has volunteered for 15 years as a member of the board of directors of the Laurentide's and Lanaudiere Regional Order of Nurses, as well as supporting a number of other professional associations.
Quite frankly, both Sylvain and Cynthia's bios are so extensive with experience that we had to shorten them here, but you'll soon hear how they plan to put that experience into action.
