We are nurses.

The State of Nursing Report

The Ontario healthcare system is under severe strain. Learn more about WeRPN’s latest efforts to ensure the government and public are aware of the increasingly difficult realities nurses are facing in the workplace, and the concerning implications it is having on patient care. Read the findings from our annual survey of over 1,200 nursing voices, “The State of Nursing in Ontario: A 2023 Review” and sign our open letter urging the government to act now and implement our 4-step action plan.

BEGIN Tuition Grants

65th Annual General Meeting

WeRPN is pleased to announce that our 65th Annual General Meeting (AGM) is taking place on Oct. 26, 2023, in a hybrid format. Join us in person at the Toronto Airport Marriott Hotel or online as we come together to reflect on the accomplishments of the previous year and celebrate the nursing profession as a whole. This event gives us a chance to honour the outstanding work of Ontario's RPNs as we look toward a more positive future. We sincerely hope you will be able to join us.
