Considering independent practice?

WeRPN’s new three-part Independent Practice learning series introduces the foundations of independent practice and helps RPNs understand how their professional accountabilities extend into the operation of their practice.

The series is complemented by a guided reflection to help you think through your practice idea, responsibilities, risks, and business considerations before getting started.

Build your understanding. Reflect on your readiness. Plan your next steps.

WeRPN continues to bring the issues that matter most to Registered Practical Nurses directly to decision-makers across Ontario.

On Thursday, we met with MPP France Gélinas the Ontario NDP’s Health Critic, to discuss key priorities affecting RPNs and the patients and communities they serve, including nurse-to-patient ratios, stronger action to address violence against nurses, and solutions to support the recruitment and retention of nurses in Northern Ontario.

RPNs have an essential perspective on the challenges facing our health system. WeRPN will continue advocating to ensure their voices and experiences are heard at Queen’s Park and across the province.

Home and community care depends on nurses who can adapt, problem-solve and deliver skilled care wherever patients call home.

This week, we’re at the Ontario Community Support Association (OCSA) Home and Community Care Conference in Markham, bringing RPN workforce priorities into conversations with the organizations shaping care across the province.

We’re talking about what it takes to recruit, retain and support RPNs in this sector — and making sure decisions about the future of home and community care reflect the realities of the nurses doing the work.

Attending the conference? Come find us in the main foyer.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragic fire at CFB Wainwright in Alberta.

We mourn the Canadian Armed Forces members who lost their lives and extend our deepest condolences to their families, friends, colleagues and the community of Wainwright. We are also thinking of those who were injured, those who witnessed this tragedy, and all those whose lives have been forever changed.

WeRPN recognizes and extends our gratitude to the nurses, healthcare professionals, first responders and emergency teams who were there when they were needed most — providing skilled, compassionate care in extraordinarily difficult circumstances.

In moments of tragedy, healthcare professionals answer the call to care. To every nurse and member of the healthcare team who supported patients and families through this emergency: thank you.

We stand with all Canadians grieving this tragedy.
