Be Heard - National Nurses Survey

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged our health care system in unprecedented ways. As decision-makers chart a course for recovery, it’s crucial for nurses and health care workers to be heard.

That’s why NSNU is working with the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) to conduct a national study. The CFNU is Canada’s largest nurses’ organization representing about 200,000 care providers and nursing students in every health sector.

The CFNU is conducting an online survey with a randomly selected sample of nurses and health care workers from across all sectors, across the country.

The survey will gauge your job satisfaction, workload, stress and other factors during the pandemic. By illuminating these factors, we can better understand your experience and more effectively advocate on your behalf. The data gathered for this survey will directly inform our recommendations to governments on how to improve working conditions and patient care.

The CFNU has engaged Viewpoints Research Ltd., a professional research company, to conduct the survey. Your responses will be kept strictly confidential, and any identifying information, such as your email address, will be removed from the collected data. Results will only be reported in aggregate, and no individual responses will be singled out.

If you have been randomly selected to receive an email with a unique link, inviting you to participate in this important research, we urge you to complete the questionnaire. The survey should take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. The survey link will remain open until late December. If you have any questions about the survey or the process, please contact the CFNU by emailing cfnu [at] nursesunions.ca or calling 1-800-321-9821.

Your voice matters, and we urge you to participate and be heard!
