Nursing Week also marks the return of the Take Your MPP to Work initiative. This is the 11th consecutive year for this event. Politicians from across Ontario have a chance to job shadow nurses during home care visits or spend time with them at hospitals and public health units. It’s a chance for politicians to see first-hand what nurses see and do in everyday practice.
We encourage members to organize visits at their workplace. RNAO’s policy department can help you plan a visit. For more information, contact Kayla Scott at kscott@rnao.org or 1-800-268-7199 ext. 214.
