Across Canada this week, attention focuses on the skills, dedication and professionalism demonstrated by both the nursing profession and workers at nursing homes and long term care facilities.

National Nursing Week is observed May 10 to May 16, while National Nursing Home/Long Term Care Week takes place May 10 to May 14.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees has represented Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) and Long Term Care Workers since its founding convention in 1963.

This Nursing Week and Nursing Home/Long Term Care Week, CUPE Ontario and the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) are proud to recognize the positive contributions RPNs and LTC workers make in the lives of their patients and in their communities—every day of the year.
