Building Culturally Responsive Care Survey - Thank you for your participation!
NSCN extends a big thank you to the more than 1,700 nurse registrants who took the time to complete the Building Culturally Responsive Care for Nova Scotians survey.
The survey will help NSCN learn more about the diversity of the profession and establish baseline data. The responses are also expected to give NSCN a better understanding of the appropriate and relevant next steps we can take to ensure nurses are able to provide more culturally responsive care.
A local third party experienced in conducting equity evaluation work in Nova Scotia has begun to review and analyze the responses, identifying points of interest for a written report. Our goal is to report findings fully to you in early 2024.
