The Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) — the union representing more than 65,000 registered nurses and health-care professionals as well as 18,000 nursing student affiliates — welcomed registered nurses (RNs) from Chartwell Parkhill Long-Term Care Residence in Parkhill, Ont., to ONA on Nov. 29.
“The highly educated, skilled and dedicated RNs who work hard to provide quality care to their residents have voted unanimously to join our union, and we are honoured to represent them,” said Vicki McKenna, ONA president.
ONA represents more than 65,000 registered nurses and health-care professionals, as well as 18,000 nursing student affiliates, providing care in hospitals, long-term care facilities, public health, the community, clinics and industry.
