RNAO Work and Well-Being Survey | Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario

In an effort to understand the impact of COVID-19 on your work and well-being and the best ways we can continue to support you and Ontario’s nursing community, RNAO has created a short survey. If you are an RN, NP or nursing student in Ontario, please complete this 15 minute survey. Your participation will allow RNAO to better understand how this pandemic has changed your work, your attitude to work and your future in nursing, and inform our policy and advocacy now and into the future. It will also allow us to capture trends and themes across health-care sectors and settings that may inform our Join The Conversation open forum series for nurses to share how they are feeling and coping during COVID-19.

All responses will remain anonymous and your privacy protected.

We thank you in advance for sharing your experiences and views with us at your earliest convenience.

The survey will close at 4 p.m. ET on Feb. 22, 2021.

If you have any technical issues completing the survey, please contact amorris@rnao.ca

If you feel you are in crisis, please see a list of helplines at the end of the survey. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911.
