On Tuesday 14th February 2017, Southern Branch TTRNA carried out a “Meet & Greet Exercise” at San Fernando General Hospital. The walkabout exercise allowed nurses to better understand the function of TTRNA as a well-oiled machinery and an opportunity to come on board as the UNION arm strengthens and gains momentum.


Members of the team were led by Branch Chair Mrs. Murray-John, Vice Chair Mrs. Nisha Nedd, Branch & National Secretary Mr. Corey Dillon, Ms. Niela Aguillera Publishing Committee Member and others. These hard working TTRNA representatives spent their Valentines afternoon empowering and encouraging their colleagues to be UNITED and COMMITTED to the nursing profession. While the dedication to patient care and quality service is unquestionable, and remarkable, it must be noted it is only through TTRNA UNION will nursing personnel ever have a true voice and realistic representation!
The Hard working nursing staff was receptive and gave a few minutes to listen to the representatives. Below are pictures from some areas visited.
