Pride in Action: Unlocking the Power of Interest Groups to Drive Meaningful Change
Interest groups elevate and empower nurses by creating supportive communities, amplifying marginalized voices, and advancing evidence‑informed education. They strengthen advocacy skills, promote inclusive practices, and connect nurses with resources that enhance confidence, leadership, and impact, enabling nurses to drive meaningful, system‑level change in healthcare. The Rainbow Nursing Interest Group (RNIG), founded in 2007 as part of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO), champions safe, inclusive, reflective, and evidence‑informed nursing practice for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. RNIG envisions every space as a positive space, where all individuals are respected, supported, and affirmed.
