More than 220 nurses and nursing students are marking RNAO's 11th Annual Queen's Park Day with the release of a comprehensive report called Creating Vibrant Communities: RNAO's Challenge to Ontario's Political Parties.
Even though the election is still 20 months away, Ontario nurses are bringing their ideas on tackling poverty, creating a cleaner, greener environment and recommendations for changes to nursing and patient care to the politicians in the hope that they will adopt them as part of their political platforms for the Oct. 6, 2011 election.
During the month of February the RNAO Centre for Professional Nursing Excellence is celebrating our Centre Members! Thank you to our current RNAO Centre Members for their commitment to quality health care and creating healthy work environments!

In our correspondence and meetings with health-care organizations, we have been sharing the importance of nursing staffing models that secure continuity of care and continuity of caregiver, using RNs for the total nursing care of unstable patients with unpredictable outcomes, and RPNs for the total nursing care of stable patients with predictable outcomes. Read RNAO’s materials on this issue including letters to the hospitals. RNAO is also looking for your stories. Is your workplace being affected by staffing model changes? Tell us about your experience. more>> |
