“Today we celebrate International Nurses Day as part of National Nursing Week. This year’s theme for National Nursing Week is ‘#WeAnswerTheCall.’
“This year’s theme is certainly fitting, as Canadian Armed Forces Nursing Officers, civilian nurses, and nurse practitioners continue to answer the call by providing essential support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, our military nurses have done so by helping to administer COVID-19 vaccines to citizens in Canada’s most remote and vulnerable communities, as well as to Canadian Armed Forces members at home and abroad.

Northcott was interviewed about her career for National Nursing Week.
Her time volunteering as a teenager in what was Sarnia General Hospital in the 1980s “solidified” her decision to become a nurse, she said.
“It was a lot different back then,” said Northcott, who grew up in Corunna. “We were actually allowed to work quite closely with the patients, helping them with all their activities of daily living, feeding patients (and) walking patients.”
