RNAO, the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) and the Registered Practical Nurses Association of Ontario (WeRPN) have teamed up again for the Nursing Now Ontario Awards to honour the work of nurses.

The Nursing Now Ontario Awards leverages and supports the goals of the Nursing Now campaign, a global initiative led by the World Health Organization and the International Council of Nurses, aimed at raising the profile and status of nursing. The campaign calls on governments, health professionals and service users to value nurses and champion their leadership in providing the best quality of care. It's about supporting nurses to lead, to learn and to strengthen the profession, in both clinical practice and political leadership.

Do you know an NP, RN or RPN who deserves to be recognized for their contributions to the nursing profession and health outcomes of Ontarians? Nominate them for a Nursing Now Ontario Award. The three awards will be presented during a special ceremony on May 12, 2022. 

Read the media release and nominate a nurse. The deadline for entries is Feb. 25, 2021.
