Dani Cornish

As a highly experienced and passionate Registered Nurse (RN), Educator, and Leader, I am dedicated to providing patient-focused care in dynamic healthcare environments. My track record of working with vulnerable and marginalized patient populations speaks to my unwavering commitment to advocacy and patient education. In addition, I am well-versed in evidence-based, patient-centered care practices, and am a strong communicator. I am confident that my extensive clinical experience, leadership skills, and dedication to professional development make me a valuable asset to any healthcare organization.

• I successfully launched the Essential Caregiver Program, recruiting 120 Caregivers, training 400 individuals, and collaborating with the multidisciplinary team to improve patient outcomes and gain national recognition. My achievements led me to be invited as a consultant for other agencies, with my expertise showcased in educational materials by the Ontario Caregiver Association. This project is the pinnacle of my career.
• As an early adopter of RAI MDS, I used a proactive approach to address staff concerns and increase understanding, resulting in above-average funding margins. This success led to consultancy work with Rural Northern Hospitals, where I developed tools and practices for long-term success.
