Settling is not an option for us. We show up however we are, wherever we come from, whenever we can. We fight for each other and for those who cannot fight for themselves.

Our strong and collective voice is well-respected and listened to by policymakers, government, administrators and other health-care stakeholders. As RNs, nurse practitioners, registered practical nurses and health-care professionals, we have been yelled at, humiliated and put in harm’s way. We’ll no longer be silenced or pushed back. We do not fear power.

We fight for positive change and work with members across Ontario to ensure what we have to say reaches all our audiences.

Explore Campaigns

Our award-winning campaigns underscore the challenges that we face on the frontlines, province wide. We speak out about many issues that directly affect our ability to deliver high quality care in safe and fair workplaces, such as the system-wide shortage of RNs, heavy workloads, understaffing and service cuts.
