Sign CNA’s petition to show your support for a made- and owned-in-Canada RN entry exam
CNA urges you to sign its online petition demanding that Canada’s 10 RN regulators stop negotiating with a U.S.-based organization to develop an RN entry exam. The petition supports CNA’s declaration of principles for the development of a made- and owned-in-Canada RN entry exam. CNA president Judith Shamian delivered the declaration at a news conference, where she said concerns have been growing since Canada’s RN regulators selected an American firm to develop a new computer-based RN entry exam. Watch a video series of Shamian answering all the tough questions on the RN exam. Read the declaration media release and the Q-and-A’s.
