Canadian Nurses Association

CNA is a powerful, unified voice for Canada’s registered nurses. We represent registered nurses from 10 provincial and territorial nursing associations and colleges, independent registered nurse members from Ontario and Quebec and retired registered nurses from across the country. We advance the practice and profession of nursing to improve health outcomes and strengthen Canada’s publicly funded, not-for-profit health system.

CNA speaks for Canadian registered nurses and represents Canadian nursing to other organizations and to governments, nationally and internationally. We give registered nurses a strong national association through which they can support each other and speak with one voice. We provide registered nurses with a core staff of nursing and health policy consultants and experts in other areas such as communication and testing.
