WeRPN’s Focus on Research Knowledge about RPN Outcomes
Everyday throughout Ontario, RPNs provide direct care to thousands of patients across a wide range of healthcare settings. With an estimated 43,000 RPNs currently practicing, Ontario’s RPNs constitute the second largest group of regulated health professionals in our health care system, and about one third of our province’s nursing workforce. In some sectors like long term and home care, RPNs make up even larger proportions of the nursing workforce.
