Adding Planetary Health to Nursing Education - please fill out the CCRNR survey!

Hello Ontario Nurses for the Environment,

The Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators is undergoing a scheduled review of entry-to-practice competencies and they have a feedback survey. This is a HUGE opportunity to get planetary health into nursing education across Canada.

The survey is quite long and a bit daunting. However, there are no mandatory fields. You can skip directly to question 50 – which asks if there are any ETP competencies missing – and you can provide a response there.

Feel free to provide a response saying that planetary health should be included and optionally give a one line explanatory sentence. This drops the length of the survey down to 2-3 minutes.

If they receive many similar responses, they may take this seriously.

Here's the survey link:

This survey closes on Friday, April 17 (tomorrow).

Safe Drinking Water for All

Access to safe water and sanitation for all is essential to life and a matter of environmental and social justice. Unfortunately, there are over 100 drinking water advisories in First Nations across Canada and no national strategy to address urgent water issues.

Act now

Environmental Justice

The COVID-19 pandemic compounds harms of historically marginalized communities. Our collective recovery must build stronger, healthier communities, including healthy environmental public policy that challenges structural inequities, including environmental racism.
