May 12 to 18 is National Nursing Week, a Canada-wide event that highlights the work of nurses and the importance of the nursing profession to the health and well-being of Canadians.

The CRNA looks forward to being part of the effort to recognize the nursing profession and increase awareness about the important role regulation plays in protecting the public.

The CRNA's office will be closed on May 19 in observance of Victoria Day. During this closure applicants and registrants can still access their accounts at any time through College Connect. Employers may also access the Find a Nurse tool at any time.
