We look forward to seeing you at our 98th Annual General Meeting (AGM) from June 22–24, 2023!

To explore nurses’ experiences over the past year, the theme for our AGM is "Change through unity and action.” This is a chance for RNs, NPs and nursing students to gather in-person to reflect on learnings from the past year and look ahead at the opportunities to improve the nursing profession for the current workforce as well as the next generation of nurses.

    We are pleased to have the Nursing Students of Ontario (NSO) as our AGM host this year! NSO, which currently has 8,000 members, represents and acts as a resource for Ontario nursing students, focusing on their needs and concerns.
