Nominations are open for the 2023 Nursing Now Ontario Awards. The Awards provide an opportunity to showcase nursing excellence and celebrate exceptional individuals for their contributions to Ontarians and our health system. The awards recognize a registered practical nurse (RPN), a registered nurse (RN) and a nurse practitioner (NP) who demonstrate the qualities of an exceptional nurse — high professional standards, superior clinical skills and a compassionate practice.
The Superior Court of Justice’s decision to strike down Bill 124 is a milestone victory for RPNs across Ontario. The courts have confirmed what Ontario’s RPNs have known for a long time — that Bill 124 violates the rights of nurses and public sector employees.
In response to Ontario's "tridemic", WeRPN is urging the province to maintain masking and take every step possible to protect the most vulnerable residents.
WeRPN is pleased to be able to provide you with a toolkit to assist you in taking action to advance the policy priorities we have identified in consultation with the RPN community in Ontario.
We have received the much-anticipated Ministry of Health funding renewal for the WeRPN Nursing Education Initiative (NEI).
WeRPN has partnered with the Ontario Ministries of Health and Long-term Care to deliver the Bridging Educational Grant In Nursing (BEGIN) Program.
Effective January 4, 2022 there is a new entry-to-practice exam for those applying to become a Registered Practical Nurse in Ontario. The exam will test for the knowledge, skills and judgment nurses need at the beginning of their careers.
The BEGIN Program is part of the government’s commitment to recruit nurses to the Long-term Care and Home & Community Care sectors.
Hear from Dianne Martin how WeRPN is positioning our major requests of government.
