Registered practical nurses (RPNs) in Northern Ontario are experiencing greater levels of anxiety, workplace violence, workload pressures and other negative impacts when compared to other RPNs across Ontario.
The Ontario Council of Hospital Unions and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (OCHU/CUPE), in an online teleconference, released these finding this week and outlined in an RPN Members’ Survey.
