SANE Nurse
Apprecaition
November 1st, 2025
It's time to shine the spotlight on one of our amazing Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE), Donna Darling!
​
With nearly 25 years as a Registered Nurse across acute and Primary Health Care, Donna Darling has been an invaluable part of the SANE program since it launched in Cape Breton in 2018.
​
“Being able to interact with clients of various backgrounds has been rewarding. To see progress in individuals and to share in their successes, no matter how small, is something I value.”
​
Donna treasures being part of a team that supports survivors through some of the most difficult moments in their lives.
​
“Experiencing a trauma can be devastating and life-altering. Through our time with a victim, we help to provide a voice and guide them through this experience. It may be a small part of the healing process but it is an important part.”
​
As Education & Site Coordinator for the past 2 years, Donna has also been key in spreading awareness and knowledge.
“Being involved in education and community partnerships has led me to a new role with Violence Prevention, Intervention & Response as a Clinical Nurse Educator. I’m excited to continue this important work.”
​
Thank you, Donna, for your dedication and compassionate care. Your impact is profound and deeply appreciated.
