As we come to an end of Nurse Practitioner Week we salute our NP colleagues! With over 1,700 NP members of RNAO, and the incredible progress we have achieved together, the time to celebrate is this week – and every day!

RNAO continues its strong advocacy on the need to expand the capacity of Ontario’s health system to meet emerging health needs in tackling COVID-19. RNAO was the first out the door addressing growing nursing human resource shortages, as many RNs, NPs and PSWs are being quarantined and/or falling sick, and staffing needs escalate together with the acuity of the pandemic.
