RNAO is turning 100 in 2025! To celebrate, we’re giving $5,000 cash toward attendance at the International Council of Nurses Congress in Helsinki, Finland (June 9 -13, 2025) to RNAO members who recruit 100 new members by April 30, 2025.
To support and encourage more members to attend ICN, as of Sept. 25, 2024:
- if you recruit 50 members* you will receive $1,000 toward attendance at ICN, AND
- receive 6 years of membership for FREE!
Don’t forget about RNAO’s ongoing recruitment rewards. For every new RN/NP you recruit, you will earn a $20 RNAO credit. For every undergraduate nursing or internationally educated nursing student you recruit, you will earn a $5 gift certificate. If you recruit five new RN/NP members, your membership for next year is free.
Here are some easy ways RNAO helps you recruit members:
- Get your nursing colleagues and friends to scan your personalized QR code, which you can find by logging into your myRNAO.ca account
- Share your referral link (also available in your myRNAO.ca account)
- Provide your RNAO membership number to your peers so they can include it in their online registration form
Both the link and the QR code will bring new members directly to join.RNAO.ca with your RNAO membership number automatically populated for a seamless recruitment process.
