The Registered Practical Nurses Association of Ontario feels deep sadness at the suffering and loss of life in Haiti from Tuesday's earthquake. In particular, we wish to honour Yvonne Martin, a nurse from Elmira, Ontario, who is one of three Canadians confirmed to have been killed. Yvonne and five colleagues from the Kitchener/Waterloo area had just arrived in Port-au-Prince to assist in delivering humanitarian relief in the Haitian capital when the earthquake struck. Nurses are always on the front lines of any conflict or disaster, putting themselves at risk in order to deliver care to those who most need it. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Yvonne's family and friends, and to all the victims and the survivors of this tragedy. We stand with all nurses who, like Yvonne, battle to preserve life and restore safety and health in the midst of chaos.
