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 recruits 100 new members by April 30, 2025.
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.

- 20 years of free RNAO memberships, or
- a combination of $20 RNAO dollars** for each new** RN/NP member recruited and a year of free RNAO membership for every five new RN/NP members recruited.

Special rules regarding $5,000 “Win-Win 100” prize
- Individuals can “pool” their recruitments to reach the 100 new member total, provided that these individuals agree to use a single membership ID number or QR code in the recruitment process.
