Proposed annual membership fee and application fee increases

Letter: Public register language for nurse practitioners (NP) who do not have authority to prescribe controlled substances

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 - 14:54

Dear Anne,

Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on proposed changes to the information displayed on CNO's public register, Find a Nurse, when an NP does not have the authority to prescribe controlled substances.

As you know, the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) has been a long-standing advocate of the need to expand NPs' scope of practice to include narcotics. Extending NPs' authority to prescribe controlled substances is a positive change that improves access to health care for patients across the province.

Tuesday, January 9, 2018 - 01:00

Dear Minister Jaczek,

As you know, the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) has been fiercely advocating for transformative changes to Ontario's social assistance system for at least a decade. Ontario's registered nurses (RNs), nurse practitioners (NPs), and nursing students see every day the devastating health and social impacts of income insecurity, including those caused by dangerously low social assistance rates and an often punitive, hard-to-navigate system.
