Dear NSO member,

As many of you know, RNAO has been interested in how nursing education has been impacted by COVID-19 and in particular the clinical component of their education and any program interruptions that may have delayed progression, graduation and/or registration examination writing. We are interested in hearing from students, learning about program issues from schools of nursing and placement issues from partner health-care organizations. One of the ways we would like to obtain your input is through the Nursing Education and COVID-19 Student Survey. 

Have you been eagerly looking for more ways to get involved with RNAO? We're looking for Student Ambassadors to join our team. 

Student Ambassadors represent RNAO and are the "point persons" on nursing school campuses. They act as the link between a school's nursing student body and the RNAO Home Office.  

For more information and to register, please visit: https://myrnao.ca/student_ambassador_2020

RNAO will contact registrants during the week of July 22.

Dear students,

The call for nominations closing dates vary, so we’d encourage to put your name forward as soon as possible.
