Increase new nurse retention and capacity

Increase new nurse retention and capacity by decreasing barriers that exist for accommodated, northern and new registrant nurses

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that because the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) is an association for both nurses and nursing students, it is uniquely positioned to lead and support new applications for registration by reviewing the registration process, advocating for change and creating a forum where support and direction can be given to new registrants.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that RNAO champion the issue of building capacity and resilience in accommodated northern and new nursing registrants by lobbying the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) to review current system processes that act as barriers to seamless, accessible, equitable testing and registration.
