In 2002, she decided nurses needed a strong and consistent voice in this province. And that was when Janet Hazelton became President of the Nova Scotia Nurses Union. This week, she was reelected for another two year term to serve as the voice for 8,300 Registered, Practical and Nurse Practitioners across the province. She took a few minutes to talk about the increase in violence, travel nurses, the “thank you bonus” and the current contract negotiations with the province, and why she is still passionate about the work she does.
