About Us
Who We Are
We are a community of diverse nurses (RN, RON, NP, LPN, Nursing Aides) educated outside Canada. We are often referred to as the Internationally Educated Nurses.
We also have Canadian Educated Nurses of Filipino Ancestry. Together we are aiming to enhance the profile of our existence as it relates to our assimilation to Canadian Nursing and our overall contribution to the health of Canadians.
