Dear member,

The Ontario Campus Health Nursing Association (OCHNA) is inviting members to join our Executive!

Campus health nurses bring a unique and broad scope of practice—blending principles of primary care and community health to support both the population health and direct care needs of post-secondary students. OCHNA serves as a vibrant community of practice, sharing knowledge, resources, and best practices across Ontario campuses.

If you're interested in contributing to this important work, we welcome you to get involved with the OCHNA Executive.

Join us virtually on June 18, 2025, noon to 1 p.m. to learn more about the work of RNAO over the past year. Share your experience about issues that are impacting nurses and students related to campus health. At this session you will meet fellow nurses who are interested in campus health nursing and learn more about how you can be involved in the work of the interest group.

Hello Campus Health Nurses

I am writing you to let you know about the free membership campaign that we are running currently for undergraduate nursing students. Currently, students can join RNAO for free and get all the benefits of student membership in their professional association. 

I have attached a flyer to this email, in both English and French, that I would love for you to share with students and other faculty members within  your network. 

Hope that the first week back in class is going well! 

Morgan Hoffarth, RN, BScN, MScN

The OCHNA is seeking nominees for the following positions:

Meet virtually with nursing educators and those interested in nursing education from across Canada. Discuss projects to implement planetary health into nursing curriculum or practical projects like greening the lab. If you are already undertaking such a project, please share it with the others. If you are not sure where to start, this is a good place to find inspiration.

The hope is that this group will have recurrent meetings every two months or at least once a semester, and it will become a community of practice where like-minded nurses can connect.

Hi all

2022 is off to a roaring start. With pandemic measures being lifted hopefully we can all get back to some form of normal activity.  I am sure we all have the Ukraine and the people of Russia in our hearts and hope a swift resolution to that conflict occurs.

Our executive is meeting next week to determine what we can do for a spring meeting. If you have any educational ideas please email me and let me know what you may like to see at tammy.datars@sheridancollege.ca.

Dear Member,

I am so happy to announce that we are ready to have our annual meeting as part of the annual RNAO meeting.  It has been a long time since there has been any activity from the Campus Nurses group but we are hoping to create some fresh movement!!

Cathy Jager the Education and Nurse Manager from McMaster Student Wellness and Dr. Fletcher one of her amazing MD's will present on Trans Care, what training is needed, health promotion, what medical and counselling care is provided and how they have handled challenges along the way. 

Hi All

Now that we have a full executive we can get down to the business of planning a spring/summer meeting (probably virtual if I have to make a guess).

I would like to put a question out to the group about what educational topic would you like to have.  A suggestion about trans care in the campus world maybe a great opportunity for us to learn about a new and increasing need for our students on campus. 

If the general census is in support of that topic let me know, if not please suggest other areas.  We will take the top suggested topics into consideration. 

Hi Everyone

After a long time with no activity in this group we finally have a full executive to see if we can't make some magic happen. 

I thought I would take the opportunity to introduce each of you to our dynamic team.  After learning a little bit about each of us please don't hesitate to reach out to any of us with questions or concerns.  I will be sending out another email which will be asking for ideas for a spring/summer meeting. Stay tuned!!

Now Here is our team!
