Now Open: Building Culturally Responsive Care for Nova Scotians – A Survey for Nurses
NSCN has launched Building Culturally Responsive Care for Nova Scotians, a survey for nurses to help us learn more about the diversity of the profession and establish baseline data. Responses will also inform what guidance nurses may need to provide safe and more culturally responsive care to the public and to further NSCN's commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.
All nurses would have received the survey link in our special renewal newsletter that was sent to you on August 2nd. Additionally, you will receive the link to the survey in an email once your 2023-2024 licence has been processed. If you are having trouble accessing the survey link, please email diversity.inclusion@nscn.ca and we can provide it.
