Health Council of Canada releases Progress Report 2012: Health care renewal in Canada

in

The Health Council of Canada releases Progress Report 2012: Health
care renewal in Canada. The report highlights progress achieved since 2003
in five key areas: home and community care, health human resources,
telehealth, access to care in the North, and health indicators.

What the Health Council found was that overall, provinces and territories met
most of what was expected of them as laid out in the accords. However, it has
not brought the large-scale change, and evidence suggests the accords were
designed with vague commitments and low expectations.

NSO message: Great concern over CNO’s new partnership in RN entry exam

Submitted by rcosby on 18 December, 2011 - 00:40

Dear NSO Members,

As nursing students we need to be aware of and concerned about the College of Nurses of Ontario's (CNO) and nine other Canadian RN regulators' decision to use an American company to provide the electronic exams for licensing of Registered Nurses in Canada. The change is supposed to take effect as of 2015.

This decision was made without consultation with other Canadian nursing bodies.
