Violence against nurses in our health care systems has been a longstanding crisis across Canada. Violence should never be a part of the job.

Stand up with nurses. Tell your health minister to eradicate violence from our health care systems: win.newmode.net/cfnu/nomorev...

Collective action works. 💪

NLHS reversed its leave restriction after nurses spoke out — but being told after the fact is not consultation.

Frontline workers must be heard before decisions are made.

💪💪💪 Alberta Nurses know that health care is stronger when health care workers stick together. UNA members across the province rallied with their @hsaalberta.bsky.social co-workers who are fighting for fairness, respect and a new contract from AHS and the provincial government. #Solidarity

Alberta's nurses know the solution is capacity. Real care comes from building up the system we all rely on by investing in nurses and health workers, improving hospitals and rural access, and keeping care public, safe, and accessible, no matter your income or postal code.

CFNU Secretary-Treasurer Angela Preocanin joined the Canadian Health Coalition for a press conference pushing the federal govt to implement a national pharmacare program. Nurses know the risks to patient safety when patients don’t have access to the medications they need. We need #PharmacareNow!

It was great to catch up with the leader of the NDP, MP Don Davies, today. Don and CFNU President Linda Silas spoke about the importance of nation building projects, including strengthening our public health care system. Thanks for the support, Don!

As Parliament returns, nurses need more than applause – they need action. Chronic short-staffing, unsafe conditions and rising burnout are putting patients and nurses at risk.

Gov’t broke its promise to complete the Nurse Practitioner Job Evaluation System before the election. 7+ months after RNU submitted all 9 forms, it’s still unfinished.

Nurse Practitioners deserve respect.
